Description: The built environment in which we live plays an essential role in our health and well-being. Therefore, sustainable transportation interventions in cities are important for the continuous advancement of population health, social well-being, and equity, as well as the sustainable development of cities. Implementation science aims to further improve population health by studying the methods and strategies to promote the uptake and adaptation of evidence-based interventions to various settings and populations through a multidisciplinary and equity-based approach. Typically, implementation science is used to identify contextual factors that support or inhibit implementation of an innovation or intervention. In this case, the intervention being sustainable transportation in healthy cities. However, implementation science frameworks, models, and theories are underutilized in the study of sustainable transportation interventions. Therefore, this review aims to synthesize the available evidence describing implementation science frameworks, models, and theories which have been used in the context of sustainable transportation interventions.
