My first reaction was - who on the panel has experience of holistic health impact assessment (rather than just modelling potential effects, which is part of HIA but not all of it).

Thanks, Jenny. Woodcock appears to be an expert on bicycling: "I lead the development of the National Propensity to Cycle for the Department for Transport," and writes articles on cycling: "Reframing Safety: An analysis of perceptions of cycle safety clothing;

Health effects of the London bicycle sharing system: Health impact modelling study".

Sonja also appears to have some connection to transportation, as in "Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA): protocol for a multi-centre, longitudinal study." But once again, there's the bicycling connection: "Economic impact of reduced mortality due to increased cycling."

As I've noted before, transportation is about more than bicycling. Since in the US, bicycling only accounts for about 1.5% of journeys to work, it's an outlier in transportation consideration in the US.

I don't know the American but Sonja and James - yes, they work on transport!

Health Impact Assessments ? Their Role in Transportation Planning

Wednesday, May 4, 2016, 11:00 a.m. EDT

Description

Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) are a means of assessing the health
impacts of policies, plans, and projects in various economic sectors using
quantitative, qualitative, and participatory methods. Transportation
systems contribute to traffic injuries, air pollution, diseases resulting
from physical inactivity, and noise. However, these risks can be reduced by
"healthy transport policies" that promote walking and cycling. In April,
2015, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM) held a joint conference on ?Moving Active
Transportation to Higher Ground" conference-Ihre Daten wurden abgeschnitten.
