According to the study’s co-author Robert Stokes, coordinator of the Urban Environmental Studies Program at Drexel University in Philadelphia “Fixed rail transit systems provide a moderate public health benefit to users by creating more opportunity for walking in one’s daily commute”.
In this study almost 500 people were surveyed in Charlotte, N.C. and the time period was before and after the completion of light rail transit system in that area.
