The Prelude: An Active Transportation Health Journey

Our journey into the future will begin with an assessment of where we are today, the issues facing us and some things to consider moving forward. This session is designed to set the stage and provide context for each of the theme areas. Although a lot of work and progress has been made in each area, there is more to be done.

PLENARY SESSION

Reflecting on Innovative Practices

A variety of innovative practices are developing “in the field” every day. This session will feature “Lighting Talk” presentations from 10 regions nationwide. Presenters comprise a range of disciplines across health and transportation, government and non-government, and academic and non-academic experiences. Each presentation will offer broad perspectives on the subtopics the conference. Going beyond a “show and tell of what was done”, presenters will focus on how to “tweak” their innovation given what they have learned from its implementation.

PLENARY SESSION

Building Strategic Institutional Relationships

Over the years, a variety of discussions have focused on different types of organizational relationships that have been formed around the intersection of health and transportation. Agencies have formed pacts, institutions established memoranda of understanding (MOUs), and more conversations are taking place across these disciplines. It is also essential to explore how these relationships have worked-out over time, what impacts they have had, and why they are not the norm—or are they? In this session we will hear the perspectives of transportation and health officials who have been at the forefront of these defining relationships. This session will begin with a paired presentation consisting of two collaborators from different sectors to address what they did and how they did it.
