------------------
The focus on the intersection between transportation and public health is increasingly
important as communities plan for recovery and response amid COVID-19 and tackle more
persistent health and safety issues. Emerging research to better align the two fields
offers not only an expanded perspective of their connections, but also opportunities to
address health issues through the lens of transportation. The Pedestrian and Bicycle
Information Center (PBIC), in partnership with many organizations, is delivering a webinar
series aimed at exploring the integration of health in various transportation planning
practices. Through a five-episode series running from October 13 to October 28, PBIC and
its partners will share practices for advancing health and equity in transportation
through the confrontation of power and privilege in communities, collaborative
partnerships, data integration, project prioritization, and policy change. Panelists will
draw from A Research Roadmap for Transportation and Public Health (National Cooperative
Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report
932)<http://pedbikeinfo.org/resources/resources_details.cfm?id=5213>13>, which
synthesizes existing practice and research and proposes a plan to fund further exploration
of this critical connection between transportation and health.
