Importance: Driving is a complex occupation requiring the interplay of high-level cognitive, physical, sensory, and behavioral skills for safe performance. Occupational therapists need to routinely address driving with adults as an occupational performance area. Further research is needed to determine whether performance-based assessment tools can support occupational therapists in screening client driving potential.

Traffic fatalities are the leading cause of mortality in the United States despite being preventable. While several policies have been introduced to improve traffic safety and their effects have been well documented, the role of transitory health shocks or situational factors at explaining variations in fatal traffic accidents has been understudied. Exploring daily variation in city-specific pollen counts, this study finds novel evidence that traffic fatalities increase on days in which the local pollen count is particularly high.

Article Synopsis
- The trend towards decreasing private car ownership is driven by Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and ICT, catering to environmental needs and enhancing mobility reliability in smart cities.
- Electric vehicle sharing (EVS) is emerging as a viable model for sustainable transport, addressing traffic congestion and pollution while promoting low-carbon development.
- A comprehensive evaluation system for EVS service performance has been developed, identifying EVCARD as the top performer, with a focus on shared electric vehicles and charging stations as key components for optimal service selection.

The study aims to comprehend sustainable behaviors in high-income nations, where human-environment interactions are crucial. Increased transportation needs in industrialized countries highlight the importance of environmental challenges affecting human well-being. Railway passenger carrier, automobile energy efficiency, technology breakthroughs, financial incentives, and public-private partnerships (PPPs) affect congestion and sustainability, which the study analyses for sound policy inferences in a panel of 28 high-income nations from 2000 to 2022.
