General Implementation Resources

The relationship between transportation, climate change, public health, and equity is complex. Currently, Streetsmart features strategies that have been shown to increase physical activity. However, transportation affects many other dimensions of health. Below are additional resources that addresses a range of health outcomes, many of which speak to the interrelated nature of climate, health, and equity.
