DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in striving to meet the Nation's need for the safe, efficient, and environmentally sound transport of people and goods, is continuing to work toward the creation and nurturing of leveraging partnerships. Closer collaboration between Federal, State, and local entities improves communication and cohesion between the organizations. The formation of the partnerships also creates powerful potential for the broad public-private interest alliances to establish agendas that further benefit the highway community. However, the ultimate benefit of the FHWA's partnering ventures is advancement toward better, safer roads at the lowest cost possible. This booklet contains descriptions of partnerships that exemplify these benefits.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
