Description
Please join us as Dr. Matthew Raifman discusses his recent work on sustainable transportation and how active transportation can be a climate and health solution.
Dr. Matthew Raifman is an expert on estimating the co-benefits of sustainable transportation, with academic experience modeling transport-related physical activity, estimating the health effects of air pollution, and quantifying disparities in traffic fatalities by race/ethnicity. At SafeTREC, his research focuses on understanding how the changing composition of the passenger vehicle fleet impacts incidence of traffic fatalities, unpacking how automated vehicles may affect road safety, and exploring novel approaches to setting speed limits in the U.S.
