Our main result:once you account for the benefits of people getting a little bit fitter, the optimal fuel tax changes by about 40%.Why only 40% and not an order of magnitude?Well, fuel price increases are of course a very indirect way of getting citizens to be a bit more active.

We input public health data to an established model of optimal fuel taxes(Parry and Small AER 2005). Within our modelling we reproduce the public health finding that per mile travelled, the public health benefits dwarf all other social cost of transport by an order of magnitude.

The benefits from active travel change quantitative evaluation of optimal transport policy instruments. Basically, being unfit is very costly to societies: effects come from diabetes and heart disease, but also dementia and depression. Our economic modelling examines this:
