A research effort of TRB that the Health and Transportation Subcommittee
has been following is now complete. It produced a Guidebook and
accompanying materials to help the communication process between health
and transportation professionals. I would hope that you take a moment
and check out the Guidebook and consider attending the webinar being put
on by the contractor.
------------------------------------
Connecting Transportation and Health: A Guide to Communication and
Collaboration is designed as a resource for transportation professionals
to communicate and work in tandem with the public health sector through
the federal, state, regional, and local scale. This guidebook was
prepared for National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
25-25, Task 105. The Guidebook, a brochure that provides a brief
overview of the Guidebook, a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the
project, and a report detailing the development of the Guidebook are
available at
http://bit.ly/TransportationHealthCommunicationsGuidebook.
Online Presentation. On April 30, 2019, 1:00-2:30 ET, an online
overview presentation will be held to present the guidebook and walk
through the resources it contains. This overview will be an opportunity
for transportation professionals to understand how the Guidebook works,
to learn about transportation and health communications in practice, and
to interact with presenters to ask questions germane to transportation
and public health communications and coordination. Join the presentation
