Call for Papers on Health and Transportation for TRB 2013
The Health and Transportation Subcommittee seeks research papers and
poster presentations on aspects of the connections between health and
transportation.
The aim of this call for papers is to expand and improve the current
understanding and evaluation of transportation policies, procedures and
actions that impact health. Given that transportation decisions have
various impacts - both positive and negative - on health and health
inequities, there is much to be learned.
Specifically, what programs, policies, incentives or disincentives,
emerging methods and/or interventions show the most promising potential
to improve health outcomes through transportation decision-making,
including planning and/or operations? And how are the health effects
distributed across population groups (e.g., based on factors including
income, race and ethnicity, sex, age)?
Papers for publication and/or presentation must be submitted before
August 1, 2012.
Submission of complete papers, conforming to TRB standards and format,
is required for consideration. Papers may be submitted for presentation
only. Each paper will be peer-reviewed according to TRB procedures. TRB
paper specifications are found online

paper is intended for the Health and Transportation Subcommittee
(#ADD50-01). Be sure to include this Subcommittee name and number with
the paper submission.
