This past summer I
helped get the word out for FHWA regarding technical
assistance being offered to agencies interested in
implementing their
Framework
for Better Integrating Health into Transportation Corridor
Planning. Six
agencies were selected to receive technical assistance, but the
strong interest far exceeded the funding available. As a new
option, FHWA is offering
virtual technical assistance to any transportation
agency interested in using the Framework to incorporate
multi-modal access, improve health outcomes, and enhance
community considerations. This webinar series will describe the
Framework and how it can be used in corridor planning, introduce
corridor studies where the Framework has been used successfully,
and provide a forum for practitioner discussion and information
exchange.
Access to the Registration Page for
each webinar is provided below. Feel free to pass this along to
your colleagues.
