Technology-enabled transportation services – like ridehailing, delivery
apps, automated vehicles, and e-scooters – have revolutionized the way
we move. But changing how we get around also impacts our
environment. How does ridehailing affect air pollution in our
communities? What are the environmental impacts of having
packages delivered to our front door? This workshop will bring together
experts in transportation, consumer behavior, and environmental
health to share perspectives on the environmental health
impact of evolving mobility options. Participants will explore existing
and needed research on the environmental health challenges related to
emerging transportation services expected in the next decade.
