TRB and the Health and Medicine Division, both of the National Academies of

The workshop will showcase local examples of formal and informal health
care and transportation partnerships; explore ways to use data to estimate
the value of transportation to health care in various settings; examine
performance measures pertinent to the relationship between
transit/transportation services and health care outcomes; and, discuss what
is needed to calculate the return on investment in terms of health
outcomes. (For example: Does providing transportation access lead to
improved health?). A workshop summary based on the day’s proceedings will
be prepared by an independent rapporteur.
