SHCC is completing
a project in partnership with Human Impact Partners and the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) to conduct SANDAG's first Health Impact Assessment (HIA). This is
also the first HIA for the region and is being looked to as a model and test for the integration of
HIA into local and regional planning. The HIA assesses the benefits and impacts of alternative
designs for a new Bus Rapid Transit station in a low-income and ethnically diverse community. For this
project, SHCC lead the community outreach process and conducted key HIA analyses related to
pedestrian safety, crime and violence.
