Managing the Traffic-Related Air Pollution (TRAP) Effects of Urban Warehousing Near Historically Marginalized Communities: A Scenario Analysis of Technology and Land Use Based Strategies

Principal Investigator: 
,

University of Washington

What? Identify the health and equity impacts of state and local zoning policies for minimizing traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) from commercial vehicle fleets and distribution centers serving residential delivery in the Seattle and New York City areas
How? Develop scenarios and analyze the health effects and equity implications of future low- and zero-emission vehicle procurement programs, truck delivery efficiency improvements, and urban land use policies on logistics-related development. The project integrates stakeholder interviews, policy scans, traffic demand modeling, and simulation to estimate the health risks of chronic exposure to e-commerce-related TRAP in marginalized communities.
Where? Seattle and New York City
