Description:
|
The COVID-19 outbreak was a health crisis that caused an unprecedented number of deaths. But impacts of the pandemic go beyond killing people, where some indirect health impacts, namely, causing mental health issues, increasing substance abuse disorders, and hindering access to primary health care, were observed. This urged international, federal, and local agencies to develop pandemic preparedness and response. Transportation agencies are no exception and should identify the COVID-19 health implications through the changes in transportation systems to support planning, decision-making, and innovation as we move from crisis to recovery. This project synthesizes the finding from data analysis and reports to better understand the health impacts of COVID-19 through the changes in transportation |
