Making Healthy Connections in Transportation

Safe and reliable transportation is fundamental to the health of people, communities, and economies, making it a social determinant of health. Efforts to improve health outcomes through transportation investments can help address the leading causes of U.S. deaths, many of which can be directly or indirectly attributed to transportation. This article describes how the USDOT is working with federal partners, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to advance programs, policies, and infrastructure investment to improve the connection between transportation and health, underscoring the vital importance of making equitable investments in communities.
