Join the THSG

Membership of the Transport and Health Science Group (THSG) is open to anyone interested in the effects of transport and health.  Members include public health specialists, transport planners, engineers, academics, members of non-governmental organisations, professionals working in the public and the private sector, policy-makers, and members of the public.

Benefits of THSG membership include free non-commercial access to our e-book Health on the Move 2 (published in 2011, but a new edition is being prepared), a discount on personal subscriptions to the Journal of Transport and Health and some meetings and seminars. Most importantly, however, it supports our aim for an effective public health voice for healthy transport. We are currently carrying out a number of systematic reviews as part of the preparation of Health on the Move 3, reviewing our policy documents, and preparing guidelines on best practice.

For further information, please email thsgchair@gmail.com or our Secretary, Beverley Hoyle thsgbgallier@gmail.com

The membership subscription to THSG is at your discretion but, unless otherwise agreed (eg for certain invited honorary advisers) certain benefits of membership, such as reduced rate subscription for the Journal of Transport and Health, access to our conferences, voting rights, or the free licence for non-commercial use of Health on the Move 2 are  available only to members who pay at least the recommended rate.
