As someone interested in health and transportation I would encourage you
to give Ann's request below a good look over. This is an important
project to the TRB Health and Transportation Subcommittee. The project
promises to be wrapped up in time for our Subcommittee to hold a session
around it at the annual meeting. Also, while you are at it, make sure to
put the annual meeting on your calendar. It will run from Sunday,
January 13th to Wednesday, January 16, 2019.

Dear Health and Transportation Subcommittee members and friends:
Our team is working on NCHRP 25-25 Task 105: A Guidebook for
Communications between Transportation and Public Health
Communities. We are working to develop a practitioner-friendly guide
that provides tools and techniques that can be put into ready use by
transportation practitioners and agencies to effectively integrate
health considerations from transportation planning through
implementation. For more information on the project, please visit the
project website at:
http://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=4101
<http://apps.trb.org/cmsfeed/TRBNetProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=4101>.
The team will be incorporating input from transportation and health
stakeholders in the guidebook which will touch on topics including:
transportation and health processes and points of intersection;
stakeholders to involve; communications and language differences;
communication and coordination techniques; existing organizations,
forums and program resources available to support collaboration; and
resources and data sources for practitioners to learn more about
transportation and health issues.
*/Input Requested/*
The research team would greatly appreciate H+T Subcommittee
suggestions for examples of successful transportation and health
coordination and collaboration efforts, tools and methods. If you have
examples to submit to the team please
emailasteedly(a)planningcommunities.com
<mailto:asteedly@planningcommunities.com>and include the following
information: name of or other reference for the effort; brief
description; website (if available); and contact information (name,
email and/or phone) for follow up.
Please send in your suggestions no later than *August 17, 2018* so we
can incorporate them into the next phase of guidebook development.
Thank you very much for your input. We look forward to sharing the
guidebook with you in early 2019!
Thank you,
