• Abstract:
  As attention to public health and equity continues to grow, there is particular interest in understanding and improving the relationship between public health, equity, and transportation and mobility. However, incorporating public health and equity considerations into transportation planning is not yet standard practice across Federal land management agencies (Federal land agencies) and warrants further study to improve future transportation planning outcomes on Federal lands. Federal lands are a key resource for the nation’s residents, and finding ways to better integrate health and equity considerations should ensure that these areas improve opportunities for addressing public health concerns into the future. This research project developed recommendations for a framework that integrates public health and equity considerations into transportation planning processes for Federal land agencies. This study relied on surveys and interviews with Federal land agency staff, case study research, and site visits to Federal lands to develop project-level and process-oriented recommendations for Federal land agencies to integrate public health and equity into transportation planning. The research also generated an implementation plan, which includes actions that are needed at the headquarters and unit-level for Federal land agencies to transform these recommendations into action.
