Summary:
This study will assess the health and equity impacts of policy interventions aimed at reducing traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) in Seattle and New York City, specifically within the context of ecommerce-related transport and land use. Using a model-based approach, the study will estimate how TRAP-related health effects vary across different population groups. It will also project future scenarios involving the adoption of low- and zero-emission commercial vehicles, as well as alternative locations and characteristics for warehouses and distribution centers.
