Table 1.
The “3-Es” (Education, Enforcement, and Engineering) safety approach to traffic-related air pollution at school for primary healthcare providers.
| Suggested strategy | Education | Enforcement | Engineering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decrease vehicle use | Encourage active transport | Positive reinforcement Active transport campaigns Encourage car-pooling and transit use |
Encourage safe routes for active transport Develop school-based active transport programs (e.g., a “walking school bus” run by the parent advisory council) School-based air purifiers |
| Decrease idling | Inform parents and school transportation (e.g., bus) providers | Anti-idling activities (signage, reminders) Collaborate with school bus providers |
Limit drop-off and pick-up near school buildings Move school bus stops away from air intakes |
