The Public Transit-Health Connection

This week, the US Senate approved the sweeping Bipartisan
Infrastructure Plan. The bill includes a $39 billion investment
in public transit to report aging infrastructure across the US.


Public transportation in the US is an important aspect of
American Life, including health care. Health Affairs recently
published a Health Policy Brief on the connection between public
transportation and health.


On this episode of Health Affairs This Week, Health Affairs' Rob
Lott and Jeff Byers discuss what to expect next for the
infrastructure bill and dive into the insights from the health
policy brief.
