Abstract:The Health Equity Framework was developed to help decision-makers, practitioners, and members of the public better understand the linkages between the transportation infrastructure and health, as well as the approaches to enhance health equity in the transportation system. The framework can be used to minimize the negative impacts of transportation on health and help create transportation systems that support and enhance public health. The Center for Advancing Research in Transportation Emissions, Energy, and Health’s (CARTEEH’s) Health Equity Framework is unique because it views the transportation infrastructure through a health equity lens and provides an integrated approach for tackling the complex relationship between transportation and health. The framework combines various health equity objectives aimed at ensuring the development and maintenance of transportation systems that promote sustainability, accessibility, and the overall well-being of the public regardless of an individual’s physical ability, socioeconomic status, or racial status. By integrating these objectives with a practitioner toolkit, the Health Equity Framework aims to enhance transportation systems and provide new and innovative solutions to measure and implement health equity.
