Abstract
This brief highlights results of a study to develop frameworks for assessing the life-cycle human health and climate change impacts from six types of transportation projects: (1) roadways; (2) marine ports; (3) logistical distribution centers; (4) railyards; (5) bridges and overpasses; and (6) airports. The research team conducted two case studies, one involving routine resurfacing and vehicle operations on roads within the San Francisco (SF) Bay Area using 2019 data; and the other involving annual marine, cargo, rail, and trucking operations at the Port of Oakland in 2020.
