"Toward an integrated mobility
agenda<http://safetrec.berkeley.edu/news/seminar-11-30-satariano.html>…
noon-1 p.m., Friday, November 30
*[image: satariano]Presentation by Bill Satariano*, Professor of
Epidemiology and Community Health, UC Berkeley
Mobility affects the health and well-being of a growing aging population.
Although this is an important area of research, most of the work focuses on
one type of mobility at a time, e.g., walking or driving or the use of
passenger transport. This presentation outlines an integrated mobility
agenda, which is based on the lived experiences of older adults, and
examines the health effects of combinations of different modes of mobility
as part of everyday life, e.g., walking and driving. The research and
practice implications of this integrated approach are addressed.
*Dr. Satariano is Professor of Epidemiology and Community Health. His areas
of interest include aging and mobility, cancer survival, and the effects of
environmental design on health and well-being in older populations.*

Pedestrian Safety Improvement Program Featured in FHWA Pedestrian Forum
Winter 2012 <http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/ped_bike/pedforum/2012/winter/#s4>
...California is developing a Pedestrian Safety Improvement Program (PSIP)
modeled after the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). HSIP
was created under the 2005 transportation authorization law, the Safe
Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEALU), as one of the core Federal-Aid funding sources. HSIP
provides funding for safety projects aimed at reducing traffic fatalities
and serious injuries. Although pedestrian safety projects are eligible for
HSIP funding, it has sometimes been difficult for states and localities to
justify spending HSIP funds on projects that will improve safety for these
users because the related crashes are so infrequent—California's program is
dedicated solely to pedestrians....
