"This report makes an important contribution to the transport,
planning, health and climate change literature by sign-posting the
need to assess co-benefits and co-costs of transport and land use
planning interventions. With reference to the IPPC work, many of the
implications of a technology-linked transport sector emissions
mitigation agenda for public health – considered very broadly – were
identified." - Ryan Falconer, Agitator for better transport outcomes

Cycling, walking and rapid transit systems are associated with a
wide range of health benefits that need to be reflected more
systematically in transport and development policies. Health
benefits may include: reduced risk of heart disease, some cancers,
type 2 diabetes, and some obesity-related risks from more physical
activity; reduced health risks from urban air pollution; reduced
traffic injury risks and less noise stress. Rapid transit, walking
and cycling systems also improve access to vital jobs, services and
opportunities and ease the mobility of vulnerable groups, such as
children, people with disabilities, and older adults, enhancing
health equity.
This report, part of the Health in the Green Economy series,
considers evidence regarding health co-benefits, and risks, of
climate change mitigation strategies for transport, as reviewed by
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.____
