The Transport and Health Integrated research NetworK (THINK)

THINK has been created to bring together people working in transport and health from policy, practice and academia, developing skills, experience and knowledge, generating new practice-orientated research and getting research into practice.  

THINK is for practitioners, policy makers, third-sector organisations and academics to come together to work closely, or indirectly, in areas that impact both transport and health. The public will have many opportunities to be involved in THINK activities, which strive to be participatory.  

THINK is developing knowledge and practice in four specific inter-related areas of transport and mobility and health and wellbeing:

  1. the impact of vehicles on air and noise pollution
  2. injuries and deaths stemming from vehicle crashes
  3. the impact of active travel (walking and cycling) on health
  4. the impact of vehicles on community severance (the impact of vehicles dividing communities)

THINK’s work will address each of these across the life course and examine in detail inequalities, from the perspective of mobilities, safe systems and healthy places approaches.

A diagram showing who the different aspects of THINK such as safety, being active, pollution and community fit together supported by the three pillars of THINK which are the THINK Foundry, Academy and Participate pillars.
  • THINK is seeking senior managers of bus companies to get involved in our research 
  • Tools you can use to reduce the barrier effect of busy roads on pedestrians
  • Opening Streets for Play
  • E-cycling: opportunities for enabling inclusion in active travel
  • The impact of commuting to work via public transport on pregnant women
