Strategic Goals

The transportation planning process is more than a simple needs assessment or facilitating partnerships or even educating key stakeholders on issues affecting economic sustainability. Transportation is vital to community planning, which not only integrates a quantitative and qualitative analysis of impact, but ensures the most efficient and effective use of resources, while focusing on safety, quality of life and public accountability. To ensure the effectiveness of this process, the right information needs to be communicated to decision-makers so that the appropriate policies (upstream activities) can be implemented to support a systems approach to solving the nation’s transportation challenges, in essence, health of a community.  The TPH Link advocates for:

• Cross-Disciplinary Partnerships
• Systems Approach based on interdependence of social, political, economic and environmental elements
• Evidence-Based Research 
• Integrative Problem-Solving
• Establishing a Common Language

Objectives

• Encourage cross-discipline communication between transportation professionals and other sectors such as health, urban planning, governmental entities, public constituency by facilitating the exchange of information required to improve community planning and policy development.
  
• Encourage partnerships between cross-disciplinary professionals that support innovative problem solving by merging discipline specific ideas to improve quality of life through innovation and an integrated transportation planning process.
