[sustran] Re: Road Safety and Social Inclusion (Mass Transit Projects)

[Todd Alexander Litman]

See my report, "Evaluating Public Transport Health Impacts"
(http://www.vtpi.org/tran_health.pdf ) which summarizes various research
indicating that residents of cities with high quality public transport
systems tend to have much lower traffic fatality rates than residents of
more automobile-dependent communities. Also see:
