Overview
Transportation systems can impact health through access to jobs, schools, healthcare, and essential services, as well as through their effects on air quality, physical activity, and safety. IHSP researchers analyze how transportation policies and infrastructure, from public transit to walkability, can promote equity, reduce harm, and improve community well-being.
