Risks of Transportation at Public University in Central Mexico

Abstract

This study aimed to conduct a thorough review of existing literature to shed light on the policies of metropolitan mobility and peri-urban health. The focus was on the impact of public transport safety on the health of its users. The study was conducted using a documentary, retrospective, and meta-analytic approach with a non-probabilistic selection of indexed sources published between 2020 and 2023. The study searched for keywords and analyzed the prevalence of data that support non-exposure to risk events that derive from mobility policies in public transport safety, and their impact on the health of users. The study also compared different policies to reveal how they prevent the effects of risk events on the health of users. The findings indicate that mobility policies that prioritize transport safety do not recognize the risks of exposure and their short-term, medium-term, and long-term consequences on the health of users.
