“Growing Healthy in Southern California” is a new analysis by the American Lung Association in California quantifying the clean air and societal benefits that Southern Californians will experience through smart growth strategies that reduce the need to drive. This analysis shows that the region could avoid $16 billion in cumulative health and societal costs and thousands of asthma attacks and respiratory symptoms between now and 2035 through a 20 percent reduction in vehicle miles traveled.
