Health Impact Assessment
HIA Goal
The 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
Next Steps
▪ Charrettes & Interviews: May –
October
▪ Corridor Improvement & Transit
Analysis
▪ Health Impact Assessment
