Cognitive Impairment, Mental Health and Transport: Design With Everyone in Mind
This is the final week of our deep dive into the relationship between public transportation and mental health. This week’s reading is a little older than the typical weekly reading. This week’s article is from 2009 and is from the International Transport Forum. Sometimes reading older research can alert us to both missed opportunities and successes. We hope this month’s readings have broadened your knowledge of this subject and perhaps, even piqued your curiosity to learn more and begin to search for ways to apply what you have read. We will have a new reading next month that we hope you will also enjoy.
About the publisher: “The International Transport Forum is an inter-governmental body within the OECD family. The Forum is a global platform for transport policy makers and stakeholders. Its objective is to serve political leaders and a larger public in developing a better understanding of the role of transport in economic growth and the role of transport policy in addressing the social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. The Forum organises a Conference for Ministers and leading figures from civil society each May in Leipzig, Germany.
The International Transport Forum was created under a Declaration issued by the Council of Ministers of the ECMT (European Conference of Ministers of Transport) at its Ministerial Session in May 2006 under the legal authority of the Protocol of the ECMT, signed in Brussels on 17 October 1953, and legal instruments of the OECD. The Forum’s Secretariat is located in Paris.
The Members of the Forum are: Albania, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, FYROM, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The OECD and the International Transport Forum established a Joint Transport Research Centre in 2004.
