Promoting physical activity and reducing climate change: Opportunities to replace short car trips with active transportation
Automobile use is a significant contributor to climate change, local air pollution, pedestrian
injuries and deaths, declines in physical activity and obesity. A significant proportion of car

trips and increase active transportation.
