Beyond Getting From Point A to Point B: Transportation as a Public Health Issue

Whether by car, train, bus, bike, e-scooter or foot, transportation is more than a way to get from Point A to Point B; it is a critical public health issue. In this Health Forum, we explore how transportation policies affect health equity, the environment, as well as the health and safety of community members.
