Health co-benefits and transportation-related reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in the Bay Area: Technical Report
- Abstract
A public health research team recently developed the Integrated Transport and Health Impacts Model (I-THIM) that makes it possible to estimate the health co-benefits and potential harms from active transport and low carbon driving in urban populations. The California Department of Public Health partnered with the developers of I-THIM, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District to apply this model to possible scenarios of active transport and low carbon driving that could unfold in the nine county San Francisco Bay Area by 2035.
