Goals
What is an HIA?Brings together scientific data, health expertise, and public input to identify potential health effects of proposed laws, regulations, projects, and programs
Can help decision makers consider health when making decisions
Brings recommendations on how to improve a project or policy
Includes a monitoring and evaluation that tracks the changes the project or policy have had in the community

HIA GoalThe goal of the study is to better understand the impacts of the potential US 1 multimodal improvements on the overall health of the communities that would be served by this proposed transit investment. This would include potential impacts of improvements on:
• Access to jobs and education• Access to health and community services• Safety for pedestrians and cyclists• Development / redevelopment along corridor

Pathway Diagram Exercise
What is a Pathway Diagram• Mapping exercise that connects
project needs/goals to long-term health outcomes i.e. health indicators
• Outcomes to consider within the scope of an HIA include:• Immediate• Intermediate• Long-term (measured by health
indicators)
