Health Impact Assessments – Their Role in Transportation Planning
Wednesday, May 4, 2016, 11:00 a.m. EDT
Description
Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) are a means of assessing the health impacts of policies,
plans, and projects in various economic sectors using quantitative, qualitative, and
participatory methods. Transportation systems contribute to traffic injuries, air
pollution, diseases resulting from physical inactivity, and noise. However, these risks
can be reduced by "healthy transport policies" that promote walking and cycling.
In April, 2015, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and American College of Sports
Medicine (ACSM) held a joint conference on “Moving Active Transportation to Higher
Ground" conference held in Washington, DC. This webinar is a direct result of the
conference, and features some of the key speakers.
Panelists:
Geoffrey Whittfield, Ph.D., MEd, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Sonja Kahlmeier, Ph.D., MSc, ETH Environ. Sc. (University of Zurich, Switzerland)
James Woodcock, Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit, University of Cambridge
Moderator: David Bassett, Jr.
