Sustainability Scholar – Health Impact Assessment Guide for Transportation Policy and Investment

The scholar will provide insight to the Transportation Policy and Strategy team on best practices and a path forward for assessing and quantifying health impacts of key transportation policies and investment related to active modes, parking and mode shift from single occupancy vehicles to more sustainable forms of transportation. It will provide insight into a topic of which the city has very little information on and has not dedicated resources too. This will be the starting point for incorporating this topic into our work and ultimately leading to better use of taxpayers dollars. The end result is that this becomes our standard practice and therefore allows a more holistic set of criteria that is used to assess transportation investments that results in a more sustainable transportation network.
