The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Thursday, July 29, 2021

Dear John,

Health Affairs' most recent policy brief draws connections between
public transportation, health, and health equity.

Public Transportation In The US: A Driver Of Health And Equity

A Health Policy Brief published today focuses on public transportation
in the US

as a driver of health. Wendy Heaps and coauthors discuss how new or
expanded public transportation options can improve health and health
equity.

Key takeaways from the policy brief include:

* Lack of access to public transportation disproportionately harms those
who rely on it, specifically women, younger adults, Black workers, and
low-income workers.

* Expanded public transportation options can reduce traffic crashes and
air pollution, as well as increase access to medical care, healthy food,
vital services, employment, and social connection.

All Health Affairs' Health Policy Briefs
are available on our website.
