7. Slower vehicle speeds make people feel safe and
encourage them to be active and walk and bike more.
For example, we know that is you are hit by a car going
25 mph, you have a less that a 1 in 10 chance of being
killed; at 40mph, you have a nearly 7 in 10 chance of
being killed.
It’s not right that residents of certain neighborhoods have
to experience speeding vehicles and be at greater risk
for severe injury and death while others do not.
To change this, the officials, planners and public health
professionals should use community strategies like traffic
calming and slower speed limits to reduce speeding.*

11. Housing insecurity results from individuals and families can no
longer afford to live in stable and safe housing. Sadly, housing
insecurity is issue in our community and having real effects. For
instance, children who experience housing insecurity have been
associated with poor health, lower weight, and developmental
risk.
We can’t address the housing insecurity problem working in
isolation. We need to work with partner in housing and
community development to incorporate health criteria into our
housing priorities.
Working together, we can address the issue of housing
insecurity and fix multiple problems at the same time. It will
create more stability in people’s lives, improve childhood
outcomes, and strengthen our economy.*

16. People are healthier when they have a say in how in
their neighborhoods are maintained and how they
change.
We need to engage residents, especially those who
do not typically participate in neighborhood activities,
so that we can make improvements like fixing
sidewalks and parks so that everyone feels as part
of the neighborhood.
To do that, the officials, planners and public health
professionals should work with residents to support
mutual goals that create inclusive and resilient* Adapted from Talking about Health in All Policies, Dorfman & Krasnow, Berkeley Media Studies Group
