The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), the American Public Health Association, and Transportation for America invite you to a briefing about the public health implications of transportation policy. As Congress embarks on the surface transportation reauthorization process, policymakers have the opportunity to revisit federal policies and investments that also shape public health, prosperity, and climate outcomes.

This briefing will explore the nexus of transportation, public health, and climate change. Panelists will describe potential negative health outcomes, stemming from issues like air pollution and road crashes. The briefing will also provide policy, process, and funding solutions that weave public health considerations into the surface transportation reauthorization process in a way that benefits both people and climate.
