Notes	Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 20, 2019) Includes bibliographical references and index Transportation and Public Health: An Integrated Approach to Policy, Planning, and Implementation helps current and future transportation professionals integrate public health considerations into their transportation planning, thus supporting sustainability and promoting societal health and well-being. The book defines key issues, describes potential solutions, and provides detailed examples of how solutions have been implemented worldwide. In addition, it demonstrates how to identify gaps in existing policy frameworks. Addressing a critical and emerging urgent need in transportation and public health research, the book creates a coherent, inclusive and interdisciplinary framework for understanding. By integrating principles from transportation planning and engineering, health management, economics, social and organizational psychology, the book deepens understanding of these multiple perspectives and tensions inherent in integrating public health and transportation planning and policy implementation Front Cover; Transportation and Public Health; Transportation and Public Health: An Integrated Approach to Policy, Planning, and Implementation; Copyright; Contents; About the authors; Preface; Acknowledgment; 1 -- Transportation and public health: An introduction; Introduction; Why focus on transportation?; Transportation safety; Motor vehicle emissions and air quality; Transportation and the built environment; Some definitions; Purpose and organization of the book; References; 2 -- Dimensions of public health affected and influenced by transportation; Introduction Social determinants of healthTransportation and the social determinants of health; Transportation and rural public health challenges; Transportation and access to healthy food; Transportation and medical caregivers; Transportation and urban planning; Nashville's efforts to improve transportation-related social determinants of health; Summary; Discussion questions; References; 3 -- Institutional frameworks: Laying the groundwork for mainstreaming public health into transportation decision-making; Introduction; The transportation public sector; The public health sector Roles and responsibilities of public health agenciesParticipants in the public health sector; Coming together in response to major disruptions to transportation systems and communities; International agreements that integrate social determinants of health into regulations and legal practices; Brundtland Commission; Rio Declaration on Environment and Development; Rio Declaration on Social Determinants of Health; United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; UN Convention to Combat Desertification and Drought; United Nations Millennium Development Goals; Summary; Discussion questions Expected changes in climate climatic conditions represent new risks of unhealthy air quality and exacerbates other public h ...
