Abstract

The nexus between transportation and health in Malaysia presents both challenges and opportunities. While the current transportation system contributes to several public health risks, including air pollution, traffic injuries, and sedentary lifestyles, there is significant potential for improvement. By adopting a more sustainable approach to urban mobility, enhancing road safety, and promoting active transportation, Malaysia can create healthier, more liveable cities.
