With this goal in mind, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified transportation policies that can have profound positive impact on health. CDC supports strategies that can provide a balanced portfolio of transportation choices that supports health and reduces health care costs. Transportation policy can: Reduce injuries associated with motor vehicle crashes Encourage healthy community design Promote safe and convenient opportunities for physical activity by supporting active transportation infrastructure Reduce human exposure to air pollution and adverse health impacts associated with these pollutants Ensure that all people have access to safe, healthy, convenient, and affordable transportation
