Dear Health and Transportation Subcommittee members and friends:
Our team is working on NCHRP 25-25 Task 105: A Guidebook for Communications
between Transportation and Public Health Communities. We are working to
develop a practitioner-friendly guide that provides tools and techniques
that can be put into ready use by transportation practitioners and agencies
to effectively integrate health considerations from transportation planning
through implementation. For more information on the project, please visit
the project website at:
http://apps.trb.org/cmsfee
d/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=4101.
The team will be incorporating input from transportation and health
stakeholders in the guidebook which will touch on topics including:
transportation and health processes and points of intersection;
stakeholders to involve; communications and language differences;
communication and coordination techniques; existing organizations, forums
and program resources available to support collaboration; and resources and
data sources for practitioners to learn more about transportation and
health issues.
*Input Requested*
The research team would greatly appreciate H+T Subcommittee suggestions for
examples of successful transportation and health coordination and
collaboration efforts, tools and methods. If you have examples to submit to
the team please email asteedly(a)planningcommunities.com and include the
following information: name of or other reference for the effort; brief
description; website (if available); and contact information (name, email
and/or phone) for follow up.
Please send in your suggestions no later than *August 17, 2018* so we can
incorporate them into the next phase of guidebook development. Thank you
very much for your input. We look forward to sharing the guidebook with you
in early 2019!
Thank you,
*Ann Steedly, PE*
