Transportation is an integral part of our daily lives, giving us access to people, education, jobs, services, and goods. Understanding how transportation can be both beneficial and detrimental to health is crucial for policy- and decision-makers aiming to prioritize and improve public health in their cities.

On February 4, attend a webinar featuring Haneen Khreis, Senior Research Associate in the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, who will:

1. Summarize pathways that link transportation to health
2. Review how pathways between transportation and health intersect with equity
3. Show quantitative health impact assessments of these pathways from cities across the world
4. Overview data and methodological gaps in health impact assessments of transportation decisions
5. Discuss how understanding the pathways, health impacts and co-benefits can inform decision making about transportation and public health
