Dear Health Partners,

Our transportation system has tremendous impacts on public health.

That's why it's a huge missed opportunity that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) failed to include public health considerations in their latest proposed rulemaking for transportation planning.

The Partnership for Active Transportation is circulating a sign-on letter to encourage the U.S. DOT to require the inclusion of public health considerations in transportation planning and to improve the provisions related to walking and biking.

This will ensure that safe and convenient active-transportation networks are available for millions of Americas, which will help prevent chronic diseases and premature deaths associated with a lack of physical activity and ultimately save billions of taxpayer dollars spent on health care.

Read the letter and sign on your organization before midnight on Monday, Sept. 1, 2014.<http://support.railstotrails.org/site/R?i=-eb25LQRsuGEvTXzVSIDIg>

This sign-on letter is your organization's opportunity to join the Partnership for Active Transportation and other groups across the country in urging the U.S. DOT to make public health a consideration in transportation decisions.

Please read the letter and sign on today<http://support.railstotrails.org/site/R?i=21-CdvpDQkSQYKqz0DZ0zQ>. Also, be sure to share this letter with other organizations that might be interested in joining this critical effort.

Sincerely,

Elissa Southward, Ph.D.
