The
Healthy Mobility Options Tool is a new health impact analysis model that quantitatively answers the question of
“How much benefit or harm to human health can we expect by changing the mix of active and motorized travel across a county, region, or the entire state?” The tool calculates the change in deaths, years of life shortening and disability, and costs due to changes in air pollution, physical activity, and traffic injuries associated with changes in active transportation levels (i.e., walking and cycling) on a population level.
