Transportation and Public Health: An Integrated Approach to Policy, Planning, and Implementation

Transportation and Public Health: An Integrated Approach to Policy, Planning, and Implementation helps current and future transportation professionals integrate public health considerations into their transportation planning to support sustainability and promote societal health and well-being. The book defines the key issues, describes the potential solutions, and provides detailed examples of how such solutions have been implemented worldwide. It also shows how to identify gaps in existing policy frameworks. Addressing a critical and emerging urgent need in transportation and public health research, Transportation and Public Health creates a coherent, inclusive, and interdisciplinary framework for understanding. By integrating principles from transportation planning and engineering, health management, economics, social and organizational psychology, the book deepens understanding of these multiple perspectives and tensions inherent in integrating public health and transportation planning and policy implementation.
