Dear All,
I was wondering whether anyone has done, knows of or has experience of
the health issues in relation to such schemes.
We are currently doing a HIA of a bus rapid transport scheme
involving fewer stops and some priority routing of the service and
have found some related material but not anything specifically in this
area through Google or the research literature (Pubmed mainly).
We're also interested in identifying public domain methods of
quantifying public health impacts as described in:
Estimating the effects of light rail transit on health care costs.
Stokes RJ, MacDonald J et al. Health & Place. 2008
Public transit, obesity and medical costs: assessing the magnitudes.
Edwards RD. Preventive Medicine. 2008
Any thoughts on the above gratefully received.
Regards,
Sal
