A Research Roadmap for Transportation and Public Health
States and localities are beginning to recognize and act on the connection between health and
transportation. A growing number of entities have produced a number of resources, guidance documents, and strategic plans on
the topic.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Research Report 932: A Research Roadmap for Transportation
and Public Health builds upon this body of
work to provide a plan for funding research over the next
decade that can lead to greater consideration of health issues in transportation contexts.
The report includes an Implementation Plan that is outlined in the
Health and Transportation Research Roadmap presentation as well as
a document on the research methods and background materials from the project.
The 10-year strategic Roadmap will provide a broad overview of highly relevant research needs as well as implementable tools for state DOTs and partners at the intersection of transportation and public health in the U.S.
