Your help is needed!
IN October of 2015 the CDC and USDOT launched the Transportation and
Health Tool (THT). Now that the THT has been in use for a while, the
American Public Health Association (APHA) is heading up an effort to
document case studies of its use and application.
If you have used or plan to use the THT for a project, plan, policy
initiative, study or anything else please click on this link and
complete a brief survey about your use.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/tht_case_studies. Your responses will
help the study team determine which projects and initiatives might be
best suited for the THT case studies.
The THT is a jointly funded effort of the CDC and USDOT. To support the
initiative, the APHA is working with the CDC to foster the
implementation of the THT through webinars, presentations, case studies,
and workshops. The THT is tool that helps transportation decision-makers
and stakeholders understand how a state or metropolitan area compares to
others across a set of key transportation and health indicators. The
tool also includes 25 evidence-based strategies to improve health
outcomes and equity through transportation. To learn more about the tool
and to use it visit

If you know of anyone using the tool please feel free to pass this and
survey link on to them.
