(Center for Transportation & Environment, NC State Univ) Context sensitive solutions (CSS) has been considered traditionally as a concept that promotes flexibility in highway and bridge design; however, transportation agencies are now using CSS principles as a decision-making framework. The three pillars of transportation-oriented CSS support the development of collaborative solutions that (1) meet the transportation need, (2) serve as a community asset, and (3) protect the environment. This broadcast will examine how CSS is currently enhancing transportation decision making at all functional levels and will address the transportation agency institutional factors that can help or hinder the application of CSS principles and present case studies of state DOT efforts, |

(Center for Transportation & Environment, NC State Univ) Public health concerns related to transportation reflect a broad range of issues, including pedestrian and motorist safety, hazardous materials remediation, and human health and physical fitness. While the body of scientific knowledge about the relationship between transportation and public health is growing, there is still much to learn regarding the criteria that determine when a transportation factor graduates from an “association” to a “causation” of health effects, as well as to what extent human behavior influences transportation choices affecting health and physical fitness. More dialogue is needed to help decision makers identify the best available science to inform current policy decisions and best management practices. This broadcast will feature representatives from federal and state transportation agencies as well as researchers from universities and the Centers for Disease Control to discuss the current state of the science and future research needs with regard to transportation and public health issues. |
