Analysis of Public Transportation Health Impacts and Benefits
| 项目名称： | Analysis of Public Transportation Health Impacts and Benefits |
| 摘要： | The objective of this research is to develop an evidence-informed resource for public transportation agencies and their partners that focuses on the health benefits of public transportation. The resource, while acknowledging the possible adverse health effects of public transportation, should: (1) Present best available research on the health benefits of public transportation in urban, suburban, and rural areas including, but not limited to, the physical and mental health of transit passengers, air and noise quality of communities, access to destinations that address the social determinants of health (such as work, grocery stores, healthcare, education, and green-space), and improved safety. (2) Address equity considerations and barriers regarding the health benefits of public transportation for all communities and for current and potential transit riders. (3) Identify improvements that public transportation agencies and their partners can implement to further increase health benefits and mitigate the adverse health effects of public transportation. (4) Identify data, methods, and potential metrics that can be used to measure and track the health benefits of public transportation. (5) Provide actionable communication tools for use by public transportation agencies and their partners. The information presented should be in a format that can easily be conveyed to the public, transportation planners, and decision-makers (including policy-makers and funders) on the health benefits of public transportation. |
