New Report: Transportation and Health Policy Interventions

A new report published by the Partnership for Prevention is available, entitled “Transportation and Health: Policy Interventions for Safer, Healthier People and Communities.”

Here's an excerpt from the report's introduction (p. 1):

"Both the general public and the government have a strong interest in improving health, bringing down health care costs, and reducing energy use and traffic congestion. The report is divided into three chapters to focus on the following policy areas: policies that improve the environment and environmental health (Chapter 1); policies that enhance community design and promote active transportation (Chapter 2); and policies that reduce motor vehicle-related injuries and fatalities (Chapter 3)."
