BACKGROUND
Climate mitigation policies that focus on the transportation sector yield near-term health co-benefits that could motivate policy action.
OBJECTIVE
We quantified CO
METHODS
We compared a business-as-usual scenario projected to 2035 with intervention scenarios in which 35% of gasoline vehicles were switched to EV, and 50% of car trips less than 8 kilometers were replaced by walking or bicycling. We modeled changes in primary traffic-generated oxides of nitrogen (NO
RESULTS
Increasing the use of EV, walking, and bicycling is estimated to reduce CO
SIGNIFICANCE
Moving towards cleaner vehicles and active transportation can reduce CO
IMPACT STATEMENT
Using key components of the health impact assessment framework, we quantify the environmental and health benefits of urban transportation policy scenarios that promote electric vehicle use and replace short car trips with walking and bicycling as compared with a business as usual scenario in 2035. Our findings demonstrate that transportation scenarios promoting cleaner vehicles and active transportation can reduce CO
