Transport for London (TfL) has published its first health improvement action plan, in light of the growing recognition of the importance of transport and street environments in improving people’s health. The report outlines TfL’s immediate actions over the next three years to ensure that it delivers the health commitments of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. The report looks at how transport impacts on health in London and the policy context for improving health through the transport system; describes the main impacts of transport on health in London starting with physical activity, which has the biggest impact, then air quality, road traffic collisions, noise, access and severance. All of these health impacts are brought together to demonstrate how creating ‘healthy streets’ enables us to reduce potential harms to health while improving the positive impacts of travel on health.
