Trade, Health, Environment: Making the Case for Change

THE Impact Project

June 2009

In this report, THE Impact Project shares what they have learned about ensuring that public and environmental health is considered when transportation and goods movement policies are made. They also provide some thoughts on best practices and lessons learned about forming a collaborative that includes both academic and community-based organization partners. They have divided their accomplishments into policy, community engagement and movement-building sections—an artificial distinction because these activities combine to make a larger impact.
