The Transportation Research Board The Transportation Research Board is one of seven major programs of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The mission of the Transportation Research Board is to provide leadership in transportation improvements and innovation through trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based information exchange, research, and advice regarding all modes of transportation. The Board’s varied activities annually engage about 8,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest. The program is supported by state transportation departments, federal agencies including the component administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other organizations and individuals interested in the development of transportation.
WELCOME LETTER
Welcome to Washington, D.C., and the Conference on Health and Active Transportation (CHAT). This conference was organized to build from and extend the work begun at the 2015 Conference on Moving Active Transportation to Higher Ground. So much has happened in both health and transportation sectors since that first meeting as active transportation plays an increasingly important role in health, smart growth, and development requiring an interdisciplinary focus. We would like to thank the Transportation Research Board (TRB), The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The National Cancer Institute, the Volpe Institute, and the TRB Subcommittee on Health and Transportation for partnering to bring about this meeting.
The purpose of the conference is to convene leaders from the transportation and health disciplines. Using active transportation as the canvas, together they will chart a course for the future around three theme areas: Reflecting on Innovative Practices, Building Strategic Institutional Relationships, and Identifying Research Needs and Opportunities. Plenary sessions will capture the essence of each theme while individual breakout sessions are designed to give participants an opportunity to engage and drill down into the details. Supporting the development of each theme and helping advance the discussion will be a poster session with over 35 presenters. Our goal is to make this an interactive conference where attendees, whether researchers, practitioners, or policymakers, can actively participate in discussions around each of the conference themes.
Following this two-day conference, an E-Circular will be produced summarizing all presentations and discussions. The report will not only document the activities of the conference but provide the basis for a framework and steps to move forward as we navigate our journey into the intersection of health and active transportation.
We thank you for being here and look forward to your participation in this important event.

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. The speaker’s perspectives will be central to framing the theme areas for the rest of the conference.

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.

Addressing the Future
After reflecting on everything that has come before, the attendees will again have the opportunity to reconvene in discussion groups and articulate how they would move forward. What are their priorities? The ultimate goals or end game? The intervening opportunities? These are just a few of the questions that each breakout should come to closure on and advance to the Conference Proceedings. Building from yesterday’s discussion, attendees will use this time to develop and prioritize the ideas and questions stemming from their focus area(s).

Making it Work in a Transportation Environment
This session will begin with a wrap-up from each of the breakout theme groups. What are the issues? What is important? Were there any thoughts on how to move forward? Following this, and coming full circle, we will hear what wisdom, if any, a leading transportation professional has to offer us as we plot the course for the future. It will also be time for the attendees to get their last and final comments in before we embark on our next journey.
