Excerpt from http://www.upstreampublichealth.org/currentwork/transportation -

"Introducing health as an important factor in climate change and transportation planning and legislation. Climate change is a global and long-term threat to the public's health. We need effective policies to address climate change, but in our approach to reduce climate change, we also need to consider health."

"We can design policies that promote more physical activity, help us breathe cleaner air, and reduce car collisions while we fight global warming. Upstream is working to fight climate change through promoting alternatives to driving, integrating health into transportation and land use planning processes in Oregon, and promoting the use of Health Impact Assessments to examine how policies improve or harm our health."
