[TRBHealth] Re: Health/healthcare + transportation outreach opportunities?

Hello Heidi, Great project! In addition to what Steve has already provided, this is a topic that is directly related to the TRB's AME70 Transportation and Health Committee's scope. I'll get back to you with more details.

I'm on the board of IPATHinc.org. Glad to share. We are looking for webinar topics. Our next conference will be in 2024. Very pertinent. Most state transit associations offer training opportunities at annual conferences and some also on-line. I belong to 3. I'm also an Easterseals contractor for the National Aging and Disability Transportation Center - NADTC.org - which is well aware of this project and may have already done a webinar. I'll be at the IATR conference later this month in Memphis. This would be relevant to their program next year anyway, as IATR regulators oversee taxis, limos, paratransit and other ride providers. Glad to make those connections. Transportation to healthcare and other destinations really should be part of a solid social work curriculum - especially at universities affiliated with the USDOT UTC program - https://www.transportation.gov/content/university-transportation-centers <https://www.transportation.gov/content/university-transportation-centers> University Transportation Centers <https://www.transportation.gov/content/university-transportation-centers> DOT invests in the future of transportation through its University Transportation Centers (UTC) Program, which awards and administers grants to consortia of colleges and universities across the United States. The UTC Program advances the state-of-the-art in transportation research and technology, and develops the next generation of transportation professionals. www.transportation.gov Steve Yaffe Yaffe Mobility Consulting 803-398-9100 www.YMobility.info ------------------------------ *From:* Heidi Guenin &lt;heidimg(a)protonmail.com&gt; *Sent:* Tuesday, September 13, 2022 2:24 PM *To:* trbhealth(a)mailman.chrispy.net &lt;trbhealth(a)mailman.chrispy.net&gt; *Subject:* [TRBHealth] Health/healthcare + transportation outreach opportunities? Hello H+T committee, I'm working with the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency (HIRTA) on an ITS4US-funded project, Health Connector <https://www.ridehirta.com/its4us>, to improve transportation access to healthcare. Outside of the CTAA conference, the Health Connector project itself doesn't fit perfectly into many other conference and outreach opportunities, but we'd really love to get the word out about it. An important component of our work is making sure that the solution is scalable and transferable to other sites. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for audiences that would be a good fit for projects that aren't fully public health-focused and also not fully non-emergency medical/healthcare focused alongside transportation.
