Amid climate change and public health concerns, world economies are seeking to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and local air pollution from transportation. Population growth in cities worldwide will further increase demand for clean and affordable transportation. We propose a city-specific environmental justice mapping index, inspired by a similar index used in California, that highlights promising areas for clean transportation interventions in Greater Mexico City to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local pollution. This novel approach leverages highly spatially resolved population, pollution, and transportation data. The proposed index score is designed as an open source, updateable point of orientation for decisionmakers as they consider investment in transportation electrification from the standpoint of overlapping atmospheric pollution and social vulnerability.
在气候变化和公共卫生问题的背景下，世界各国经济都在努力减少交通产生的温室气体排放和本地空气污染。全球城市人口的增长将进一步增加对清洁和经济实惠的交通方式的需求。我们提出了一个基于特定城市的环境正义映射指数，该指数受到加利福尼亚州使用的类似指数的启发，旨在突出大墨西哥城有希望采取清洁交通干预措施的区域，以减少温室气体排放和本地污染。这种新颖的方法利用了高度空间分辨率的人口、污染和交通数据。所提出的指数评分旨在为决策者提供一个开放源码、可更新的导向点，帮助他们从大气污染和社会脆弱性的角度考虑投资交通电气化。
