Public Health Assessment for Transportation Projects

Public Health Assessment for Transportation Projects
This project assembles tools and metrics including ITHIM for use in evaluating the impact of transportation investments on health and equity and incorporating relevant outcomes into decision making at MassDOT and at the community level. Project goals are to identify available frameworks, tools, data and performance measures; utilize existing datasets to develop additional performance measures; develop a framework that could be incorporated into planning and decision-making processes for transportation projects; and provide recommendations for further investigation. UMass Chan Medical School has responsibility for the physical activity elements.
