• Abstract:
  This document aims to support transportation agency efforts to incorporate health into corridor planning studies. It is intended to be used within an existing corridor planning process; not as a stand-alone or parallel process. Because transportation planning at the corridor level is flexible and adaptable to many different issues and contexts, 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. It may also be used to inform planning activities at both the regional and project level to support broad health goals. Transportation practitioners at the State, regional, and local levels who conduct or participate in corridor studies are the intended audience for the Framework; recognizing health professionals are highly useful partners. Health issues, goals, and priorities are very context specific, and the Framework does not provide answers or outcomes. Six steps are outlined with questions to consider, partnerships and stakeholders, data and analytical support, resources, and examples from practice. The steps are: Step 1: Define Transportation Problems and Public Health Issues; Step 2: Identify Transportation and Health Needs, Resources, and Priorities; Step 3: Develop Goals and Objectives that Promote Health in the Community; Step 4: Establish Evaluation Criteria that Include Public Health; Step 5: Develop and Evaluate Alternatives and their Health Impacts; and Step 6: Identify Alternatives that Support Health in the Community.
