Tuesday, January 29, 2013
2:00 - 3:00 pm EST
Presenter:
Leslie Meehan, Director of Healthy Communities, Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO)
Overview of the Nashville MPO Active Transportation Funding Policy
The Center TRT is pleased to host Leslie Meehan, with the Nashville Metropolitan Planning
Organization, on January 29, 2013, to share the MPO's Active Transportation Funding
Policy, posted on the Center TRT website
(
http://www.centertrt.org/?p=intervention&id=1156)156). The MPO's Active
Transportation Funding Policy includes two key elements: (1) dedicated funding for both
active transportation infrastructure and education about active transportation and (2) the
application of scoring criteria - which drives project funding - that incorporates active
transportation indicators. This initiative has the potential to improve the health of
community members by facilitating active transportation and creating safer environments
for biking and walking. The Nashville Area MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy
and the scoring criteria were adopted in December 2010. Since then, the MPO has continued
to expand its work in active transportation.
This hour-long webinar will provide:
* an overview of the Center TRT intervention review, including core elements,
evidence-base, and potential public health impact
* a presentation by Leslie Meehan of the Nashville MPO on the implementation of
the Active Transportation Funding Policy, including lessons learned and resources needed
to support implementation
* a Q & A session
