Optimising air quality and health benefits associated with a low-emission transport and mobility revolution in the UK

政府的“未来交通”和“零排放之路”战略概述了第二次英国交通革命，其特点是快速脱碳、自动化程度提高和连通性增强。在交通技术发生颠覆性变化、公众环保意识增强和交通行为不断演变的背景下，这种根本性的转变为未来二十年改善空气质量带来了机遇和挑战。在这方面，在即将到来的过渡阶段采取的行动将影响室内（即车辆、铁路/公共汽车）和室外（即人行道、站台、公共汽车站）陆地运输环境的空气污染源和暴露模式，对未来的公共卫生产生深远影响。我们认识到，这是鼓励政策远见、培育科学进步和鼓励公民参与空气质量、气候和健康关系的关键机会。我们的愿景是建立一个多元化的跨学科网络，将英国九所高等教育和研究机构的研究人员与bbb20个网络合作伙伴联系起来，包括商业、公共部门和非营利组织。我们将建立可持续的联系，共同确定问题和机遇，共同提供创新的、基于证据的解决方案。我们将提供各种各样的网络活动组合，包括过渡峰会、问题解决研讨会、黑客马拉松、发现研究、实地考察、政策参与活动和交通站点的创造性外展活动。因此，网络合作伙伴将实现直接影响未来空气质量，气候和运输政策的雄心勃勃但可实现的目标，反映出UKRI SPF清洁空气分析和解决方案计划的雄心。

The Government's 'Future of Mobility' and 'Road to Zero' strategies outline a second UK transport revolution, characterised by rapid decarbonisation, increased automation and enhanced connectivity. This radical transformation presents both opportunities and challenges for improving air quality over the next two decades, occurring in the context of disruptive changes in transport technology, increasing public environmental awareness and evolving transport behaviours. In this context, actions taken during the emerging transition phase will influence air pollutant sources and exposure patterns across indoor (i.e. vehicle, rail/bus) and outdoor (i.e. pavement, platform, bus station) land transport environments, with profound future implications for public health.We recognise this critical opportunity for encouraging policy foresight, cultivating scientific advancement and stimulating citizen engagement at the air quality, climate and health nexus. Our vision is to establish a diverse interdisciplinary network, connecting researchers across nine UK higher education and research institutions with >20 network partners, comprising commercial, public sector and non-profit organisations. We will establish sustainable connections to undertake co-definition of issues and opportunities and co-delivery of innovative, evidence-based solutions. We will deliver a varied portfolio of network activities including TRANSITION summits, problem-solving workshops, hackathons, discovery studies, site visits, policy engagement events and creative outreach activities at transport locations. Thus the network partners will achieve the ambitious but achievable goal of directly shaping future air quality, climate and transport policy, reflecting the ambitions of the UKRI SPF Clean Air Analysis and Solutions programme.
