Top line: Safety and security are the most influential factors regarding pedestrian access to suburban rail stations.
Top line: A growing body of research demonstrates that the co-benefits of climate policy are very significant, and can partly or fully offset the cost of climate mitigation.
Top line: There are significant future road safety gains to be made by more effective use of Knowledge Translation & Exchange (KTE) through improved policy and practice.
Top line: The introduction of a Play Street, leading to a safe play space near home, is an effective intervention at neighbourhood level to increase urban children’s moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity and decrease sedentary time during summer vacations.
