Health Impact Assessment of Atlanta Regional Plan 2040

( 2012-12) Ross, Catherine L. ; Elliott, Michael ; Rushing, Michelle M. ; Barringer, Jason ; Smith, Sarah ; Frackelton, Alexandra ; Kent, John ; Rao, Arthi ; West, Harry

The objective of this work was to integrate the HIA process into the larger planning process to the greatest extent possible. An HIA will ensure the explicit consideration for the human health impacts in regional transportation and land use planning. Second, it increases the regional capacity for HIA practice through collaboration with community and research partners, and develops a prototypical approach for measuring and improving regional planning outcomes. Ultimately through the HIA process, sustainability, economic benefit, and health were presented as mutually-supportive and attainable goals of transportation and land use planning. Although some examples of comprehensive planning HIAs exist in the U.S., the Plan 2040 assessment is one of the earliest HIAs of a regional comprehensive plan for a major metropolitan area.
Estimating the Safety Benefits of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS)

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-12-31) Ross, Catherine L. ; Elliott, Michael ; Barringer, Jason ; Smith, Sarah M. ; Woo, Myungje ; Kent, John ; Lilly, Margaret

Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS), also commonly known by the original name Context Sensitive Design (CSD), is an alternative approach to the conventional transportation-oriented decision-making and design processes. The CSS approach can be used to design and implement transportation projects that not only result in safe and efficient roadways, but ones that consider and preserve the total context of community values, including scenic, aesthetic, historic, and environmental resources.
Aerotropolis Atlanta Brownfield Redevelopment Health Impact Assessment

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-12) Ross, Catherine L. ; Elliott, Michael ; Rushing, Michelle Marcus ; Barringer, Jason ; Cox, Sarah ; Frackelton, Alexandra ; Kent, John ; Rao, Arthi

HIA is a process that uses a variety of methods and approaches to identify and measure potential health impacts, both positive and negative, that may result from a particular policy or project. Furthermore, an HIA seeks to link these impacts to a given segment of the population (for example, children, older adults, people living in poverty, or residents of a particular neighborhood).

Congestion Pricing Response: Study for Potential Implementation in the Metropolitan Atlanta Area

( 2008-10) Ross, Catherine L. ; Guensler, Randall L. ; Barringer, Jason ; Danner, Amy

Traffic congestion is an increasing burden on American cities. Congested highways delay truck transport and commuters, causing economic and social losses to local businesses and residents and making the area as a whole less attractive to potential residents, investors and visitors. Drivers suffer increased stress and the resulting negative health effects. Long delays in car travel leads to greater amounts of pollutants being emitted into the atmosphere. As a result, one of the foremost challenges confronting towns, cities, regions and transportation providers is the reduction of congestion. Perhaps more importantly, the increasing cost of oil and our current dependence on it make even clearer the need for the introduction of greater efficiency, better management, more sustainable practices, and differential pricing in transportation system planning. There is an even greater expectation that congestion pricing will be a new source of funds to maintain existing and construct new infrastructure. The key objective of this project was to undertake a comprehensive evaluation of public perceptions and acceptability of potential congestion-pricing implementation and deployment strategies for the metropolitan Atlanta area, in order to help guide GDOT in the siting, evaluation, and implementation of future pricing strategies. The project included consideration of new technologies to be used in implementing congestion-pricing schemes, as well as potential consumer objections to congestion pricing and a summary of the most significant inputs to models or efforts to forecast consumer responses to pricing programs. The research effort will provide a comprehensive examination of public perceptions and preferences in regard to the suitability of potential pricing applications in metropolitan Atlanta. The project results include recommendations of strategies to implement congestion pricing, as well as results from an emissions modeling framework and congestion pricing analysis.
Hospitals and Community Health HIA: A Study of Localized Health Impacts of Hospitals

( 2008-06) Ross, Catherine L. ; Barringer, Jason ; Danner, Amy ; Woo, Myungje ; Doyle, Jessica

The Hospitals and Community Health HIA project examines the localized impacts of a hospital, operating as a major anchor institution, on the health outcomes of residents living nearby. The study includes a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to examine the impact of transportation, land use, urban design and future growth on the residents and neighborhoods located in the vicinity of Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The final product of this HIA is a set of evidence-based recommendations that inform decision-makers and the general public about the health-related issues associated with the project and suggest how to enhance positive health impacts while mitigating negative health impacts. Results of this HIA will be instrumental in informing future decisions regarding land use, transportation, and urban design by both Piedmont Hospital and by the surrounding communities. This project builds on the Atlanta BeltLine Health Impact Assessment (HIA) which, was conducted with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and with technical assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The BeltLine HIA was completed in May 2007.
The Milton Trail Plan: Shared Use Trail Plan

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-08) Drummond, William J. ; Ross, Catherine L. ; Leone de Nie, Karen ; Barringer, Jason ; Giarrusso, Tony

This Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan for the newly established City of Milton, Georgia, proposes a network of multiuse trails to connect Milton’s neighborhoods with its parks, schools, libraries, stores, sports facilities, and other public spaces. This plan was produced with Georgia Tech's City and Regional Planning Program and the Center for GIS.
