Congressional Briefing:
Towards Healthier Outcomes in Surface Transportation
Thursday,
April 10, 3-4:30 p.m. ET |
|
The American Public Health Association, The Environmental and Energy Study Institute
(EESI), and Transportation for America invite you to a briefing about the public
health implications of transportation policy. As Congress embarks on the surface
transportation reauthorization process, policymakers have the opportunity to revisit
federal policies and investments that also shape public health, prosperity and
climate outcomes. This event is free and open to the public.
This briefing will explore the nexus of transportation, public
health and climate change. Panelists will describe potential negative health outcomes,
stemming from issues like air pollution and vehicle crashes. The briefing will
also provide policy, process and funding solutions that weave public health considerations
into the surface transportation reauthorization process in a way that benefits both people and climate.
