In 2013 the Volpe Center on behalf of FHWA published a report discussing
several MPOs that were focusing on Health as part of their MPO
responsibilities. Complimenting this report, FHWA just released a
follow-up report focused on five state Departments of Transportation and
how they are considering health in their transportation planning and
activities. The report synthesizes trends, lessons, and opportunities
based on the five states and translates them into insights for peer DOTs
and partners. The DOTs featured are: The California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans), Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT),
Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT).
The report can be found on the FHWA Health in Transportation website at
