Kelly Rodgers has been appointed as vice-chair of the committee. Kelly is leading the development of the health and transportation technical resource clearinghouse that will be released this fall. As these committees demonstrate, the transportation industry is increasingly recognizing its impact on public health. Their formation is an important move in institutionalizing health considerations in transportation. Stay tuned to hear about initiatives that will emerge from these efforts.

WHY STREETSMART? We get it. Civic leaders struggle to find the evidence they need to evaluate and prioritize transportation investments. The research is scattered, time-consuming to find, and difficult to digest. We do all the work of synthesizing the research and presenting in an intuitive and easy-to-use format, without compromising quality or rigor. Civic leaders need to make the case for solutions that work best for their community, which sometimes requires defending innovation. Streetsmart reduces risk by providing the evidence and examples of what works in other communities. We’ve got your back. Find success stories with key lessons learned in one easy-to-search place. Why re-invent the wheel? Streetsmart offers insight via case studies and guidebooks relevant to each topic area. Learn from others in the trenches working on issues similar to yours.
