Urban Policy Interventions to Reduce Traffic Emissions and Traffic-Related Air Pollution: A Systematic Evidence Map

Abstract

Cities are the world’s engines of economic growth, innovation, and social change, but they are also hot spots for human exposure to air pollution, mainly originating from road traffic. As the urban population continues to grow, a greater quantity of people risk exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP), and therefore also risk-averse health effects. In many cities, there is scope for further improvement in air quality through targeted local policy interventions. The objective of this systematic evidence map (SEM) is to identify and characterize the evidence on policy interventions at the urban-level that can be implemented by local authorities to reduce traffic emissions and/or TRAP from on-road mobile sources, thus reducing human exposures and adverse health impacts. Articles will be searched for and selected based on a predetermined search strategy and eligibility criteria. Study characteristics will be extracted and coded from included studies, then will take the form of an accessible, interactive database that will facilitate the identification of relevant trends and gaps in the evidence.
