APHA Invites You to a Webinar Series on:
Health and Equity in Transportation: Promising Methods and Modes to
Improve Health Outcomes
APHA will host a free webinar series on critical health and equity
issues within the transportation sector. These three, 60-minute APHA
webinars will explore the ties between public health and:
* Increased use of public transportation;
* Reduced injuries, particularly for children and young drivers;
* Increased access to goods and services, such as healthy foods,
jobs, employment and health care, for all communities; and
* Other topics within transportation, such as updates on the
federal surface transportation authorization.
We invite professionals in public health, transportation and other
related sectors to participate in our 2012 webinar series.
Webinar dates and times, as well as guest speaker details, are provided
below.
Participants must register to join the webinar. Registration is limited

Webinar Details
Date / Time
Webinar 1: What Public Transit Means for Public Health
Explore how public transit may impact health, via increased physical
activity, improved air quality and reduced risk of injuries from
crashes. Hear about health impact assessments that estimated how
increased spending on public transportation and sustainable modes of
transportation can both benefit health and reduce social inequities.
Introductory remarks by APHA Associate Executive Director Susan Polan,
PhD, and presentations by:
* Tracy Buck, MS, RD, Nashville Metro Public Health
* Brian Cole, DrPH, UCLA School of Public Health
Wednesday, June 13, 2012
2-3 p.m. EDT
Webinar 2: What Role Injury Prevention Plays in Transportation
Learn about state efforts to strengthen young driver licensing systems,
and how such policies can most effectively be promoted to save lives and
reduce injuries. Also find out more about how pediatricians can
collaborate with other child health care providers to raise the profile
of transportation as a public health issue and help children live to
their full potential. Part of the injury prevention strategy includes
the three 'Es' of injury prevention-education, engineering, and
enforcement-to keep children safe. Presentations by:
* Phyllis Agran, MD, MPH, Children's Hospital of Orange County
* Robert Foss, PhD, University of North Carolina, Highway Safety
Research Center
Wednesday, July 11, 2012
2-3 p.m. EDT
Webinar 3: What Health Impact Assessments Can Do for Health Inequities
The health impact assessment, or HIA, is gaining huge momentum as a tool
to address the social and environmental determinants of health,
particularly on transportation-related projects and policies. Learn
about HIAs conducted on transportation corridors with high rates of
poverty and unemployment, on a new public transportation line and on a
city's master plan. Some of the most important health risks or outcomes
addressed are healthy food availability, physical activity through
multi-modal transportation and safety. Presentations by:
* Alyssa Auvinen, RiverStone Health
* Karen Nikolai, MCP, MPH, and Crystal Myslajek, MPP, Hennepin
County
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
2-3 p.m. EDT
Please forward this invitation to other interested colleagues. We look
forward to your participation!
