The cost-effectiveness of bike lanes in New York City.

BACKGROUND Our objective is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of investments in bike lanes using New York City's (NYC) fiscal year 2015 investment as a case study. We also provide a generalizable model, so that localities can estimate their return on bike lane investments. METHODS AND FINDINGS We evaluate the cost-effectiveness of bike lane construction using a two-stage model. Our regressio...

Farm tractor rollover protection: why simply getting rollover protective structures installed on all tractors is not sufficient.

Relative effectiveness of worker safety and health training methods.

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the relative effectiveness of different methods of worker safety and health training aimed at improving safety knowledge and performance and reducing negative outcomes (accidents, illnesses, and injuries). METHODS Ninety-five quasi-experimental studies (n=20991) were included in the analysis. Three types of intervention methods were distinguished on the basis...
