Submit abstracts by March 31, 2016. http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/conferences/2016/transitandhealthcarea… The workshop will showcase local examples of formal and informal health care and transportation partnerships; explore ways to use data to estimate the value of transportation to health care in various settings; examine performance measures pertinent to the relationship between transit/transportation services and health care outcomes; and, discuss what is needed to calculate the return on investment in terms of health outcomes. (For example: Does providing transportation access lead to improved health?). A workshop summary based on the day’s proceedings will be prepared by an independent rapporteur.
