The U.S. Department of Transportation and Health Working Group have developed an action-oriented framework for transportation practitioners wanting to incorporate health into their corridor planning process.

The framework focuses on the community and its needs and recognizes that health professionals are important potential partners to transportation practitioners. The framework is based on familiar technical steps, while highlighting specific activities that can inform transportation decisions at each step. Its goal is to help support healthy outcomes while improving transportation systems.

Five transportation agencies across the country tested the framework in corridor studies. Their experiences became the report's case studies, highlighting how each agency incorporated health into their corridor planning processes and the resulting outcomes.
