Planning and public health professionals have increasingly focused on the linkages between transportation and health. Presentations from this session will dive into the finer details of how GIS can support ADA reviews, pedestrian safety studies and bike share suitability analyses and highlight a multi-year collaboration between USDOT and CDC to create the “Transportation and Health Tool” to inform policy decisions and promote local exploration into the data behind the tool.

Attendance at this session will offer 1.5 AICP credits, pending approval
