Transportation and Health Tool (THT)

The tool provides easy access to data that practitioners can use to examine the health impacts of transportation systems. The tool provides data on a set of transportation and public health indicators for each U.S. state and metropolitan area that describe how the transportation environment affects safety, active transportation, air quality, and connectivity to destinations. You can use the tool to quickly see how your state or metropolitan area compares with others in addressing key transportation and health issues. It also provides information and resources to help agencies better understand the links between transportation and health and to identify strategies to improve public health through transportation planning and policy.

This tool will help achieve the goal of the following objectives

Less Contamination
Less Emissions
Less Traffic Noise
Connectivity and Inclusion
Healthy Destinations
Less Traffic Violence
Active Transportation
Green Space

Estimation Technique

The Transportation and Health Tool calculates the health impacts of transportation systems by taking into account several factors, including exposure to air pollution and noise, physical activity levels, and the accessibility of safe and affordable transportation options. By considering these factors, the tool can provide a comprehensive assessment of the health impacts of transportation systems.
The tool uses several different data sources to calculate the health impacts of transportation systems. These data sources include air pollution and noise data, physical activity data, and accessibility data. By considering these different data sources, the tool can provide a more comprehensive assessment of the health impacts of transportation systems.
