Free buses: Citywide zero fare is associated with increased use of public transit
Public Health in the Political Sphere: Zero-Fare Public Transportation as a Case Study and Call to Action
Calls for depoliticizing public health often conflate politicization with partisanship, limiting the tools we have to advance health equity. We argue, through the lens of zero-fare public transit, that promoting health equity is an inherently political process. The processes that advance access to public services as a public good exist in the political sphere and have direct impacts on the health of vulnerable populations. To advance population h…
Impacts of zero-fare transit policy on health and social determinants: Protocol for a natural experiment study
Population-level efforts are needed to increase levels of physical activity and healthy eating to reduce and manage chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Interventions to increase public transit use may be one promising strategy, particularly for low-income communities or populations of color who are disproportionately burdened by health disparities and transportation barriers. This study employs a natural…
The Effects of a Citywide Bike Share System on Active Transportation Among College Students: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
Introduction. Despite the known health benefits of biking, within the last year, 46% of college students reported not riding a bike. This trend indicates a need to explore interventions to increase bicycling. The purpose of this study was to examine how a free membership to a citywide bike share system, with a campus docking station, affected bicycling and physical activity. Method. Undergraduate students were recruited from a Midwest University …
