Good point Marc!
We worked on a report with TransForm for the California Department of Public Health that does try to address those important issues.
"Creating Healthy Regional Transportation Plans: A Primer for California's Public Health Community on Regional Transportation Plans and Sustainable Communities Strategies"
http://transformca.org/resource/creating-healthy-regional-transportation-plans
Its mostly focused on California but is hopefully interesting for others to read as well.
Feel free to contact me or Stuart Cohen from TransForm (cc-ed above) directly if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Beth

It is fascinating and dismaying to me that a report like this can be written, with no mention whatsoever of equity, environmental justice, disadvantaged people, discrimination, health disparities, etc.

Subject: [H+T--Friends] New report on public health and transportation planning
A new report from the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) might be of interest to you and your networks:
NARC Report Released, Integrating Public Health and Transportation Planning: Perspectives for MPOs and COGs:
NARC recently released a summary report of efforts made by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to integrate public health factors and considerations into their transportation plans. Additionally, the report offers options through which an MPO can work with its Council of Government (COG) to integrate non-transportation planning activities into the transportation and public health discussion.
