| Abstract | The transportation and health fields are two areas that have not traditionally worked together and have been viewed as distinct and separate fields. However, transportation has huge, yet preventable adverse human health impacts. In fact, 14 pathways link transportation and health. There is growing value in cross-disciplinary practice, research, and policy to tackle multifaceted contemporary challenges. As such, new approaches are necessary for effective collaboration. Currently, there are limited cross-disciplinary opportunities at the intersection of transportation and health, but the need for knowledge and skills spanning these different disciplines is increasing. More opportunities for collaboration across transportation and health are warranted in education, training, and workforce development as these elements may enhance cross-disciplinary practice, research, and policy. In this chapter, we discuss the current state of the transportation and health fields, education, cross-disciplinary curriculum, training, and workforce development. We also include real-world perspectives and future recommendations. |
