Welcome
Mission
The International Professional Association for Transport & Health (IPATH) is a platform for transdisciplinary and multi-sector professionals working at the intersection of transport and health. The aim of IPATH is to share information, exchange ideas, and foster collaboration to improve health, quality of life and well-being in communities by advocating for the integration of health in the urban and transport planning agendas.


Vision
The International Professional Association for Transport & Health (IPATH) supports research and best practices aimed at integrating health into transport and urban planning. IPATH encourages strategic approaches toward the development and implementation of “transport and health” operational models while continuing to foster transdisciplinary efforts in this expanding area of research and practice worldwide.   

Values
Collaboration and Coordination to:
  • enable, facilitate, and support collaboration across disciplines and socio-economic perspectives for holistic and sustainable transport and health outcomes. 

Sharing information, best practices, and their industry specific foundations to:
  • Understand commonalities across disciplines to support standardization of best practices instead of reinventing processes and procedures. 
  • Promote the use of various data types and sources (quantitative and qualitative) that are available, applicable, transparent, and inclusive. 
  • Support inclusion of both mobility and health project impacts regarding Return on Investment (ROI), cost-effective analyses and other estimates.

Leadership to: 
  • Establish goals with attainable SMART objectives of projects and tasks to set priorities, provide direction and instill motivation.
  • Develop and mentor future transformational leaders through mobilization of the IPATH mission and vision toward the goal of integrating transport and health culture.
  • Empower and inspire IPATH members to share transport and health research and practice knowledge to affect change in the design and planning of communities.
