> The International Conference on Transport and Health (ICTH) is designed to be a direct participatory experience. Policy-makers, practitioners and academics from multiple disciplines involved with transport planning and engineering, public health, urban planning, spatial and architectural design, environmental planning, economics and beyond will convene at Mineta Transportation Institute/San Jose State University located in San Jose, California (USA), 13-15 June 2016, to share their stories of success and failure; build world-wide collaborative friendships; but most importantly, leave inspired!

> ICTH is the only conference dedicated to transport infrastructure and health impacts. It is is designed to bridge the gap between scientific investigation and real-world application. Throughout this avant garde conference experience, interactive Hot Topic Workshops and abstract presentations (oral, pecha kucha and poster) will be led by a cross-disciplinary team of international experts to demonstrate “how” non-traditional thinking can lead to creative problem solving.
