The International Conference on Transport and Health (ICTH) 2016 - USA is designed to be a direct participatory experience. Policy-makers, practitioners and academics from multiple disciplines involved with transport planning and engineering, public health,
urban planning, spatial and architectural design, environmental planning, economics and beyond will convene at Mineta Transportation Institute/San Jose State University located in San Jose, California, 13-15
June 2016, to share their stories of success and failure; build world-wide collaborative friendships; but most importantly, leave inspired!
ICTH 2016 - USA is the only conference dedicated to transport and its impact on health. Throughout this conference experience, interactive Hot Topic Workshops and abstract presentations (oral, pecha kucha and poster) will be led by cross-disciplinary teams
in an effort to demonstrate “how” non-traditional thinking can lead to creative problem solving.
The afternoon of Sunday, 12 June 2016, has been set aside as Camp ICTH with a special road trip session on cross-disciplinary communication. This is an opportunity to have fun and meet new friends.
