The NARC report is a great overview of some of the MPOs programs that promote public
health. As part of MTC's Regional Transportation Plan, we included a performance
measure to increase the number of active individuals as the result of different projects.
We monetized the savings due to health care costs and lost productivity due to individuals
achieving increased physical activity from a transit, bicycle or pedestrian project. You
can see the results and description of the various targets here:

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-pl…
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

like this can be
written, with no mention whatsoever of equity, environmental justice,
disadvantaged people, discrimination, health disparities, etc.

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.
