Framework for Incorporating Health into Transportation Corridor Planning
Project Information
Project Abstract:
The Health in Transportation Corridor Planning Framework supports State, regional, and local efforts of transportation agencies and their partners to respond to public health through corridor planning studies. The framework is intended to be used within an existing corridor planning process, not as a standalone or parallel process. The framework is scalable to any type of corridor. It can be used at a single point in the process or to inform every aspect of the corridor planning study. The framework may also be used to inform planning activities at both the regional and project level to support broad health goals.

Project Outputs:
Framework for Better Integrating Health into Transportation Corridor Planning provides action-oriented information in a familiar six-step transportation corridor planning process that can assist transportation practitioner efforts to incorporate health into their corridor planning process.
Eleven case studies of transportation agencies across the country who tested the framework in a corridor study. Their experiences were turned into case studies that highlight how each of the agencies applied the Framework to incorporate health into their corridor planning processes, and the resulting outcomes.
Six outreach brochures to assist transportation agencies to communicate how to incorporate health into transportation investments can have positive impacts in their community.
