The TRAFFIC project was funded under the cross-Research Council Environmental Exposure and Health Initiative (EEHI) with funds from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Medical Research Council (MRC), the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Department of Health (DoH).

Professor Frank Kelly, the Principal Investigator of TRAFFIC, led a consortium of twenty investigators from King's College London, Imperial College London, St George's, University of London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to better understand the health problems caused by air pollution and noise from traffic in London.

At the start of the project we suspected that traffic pollution was having an adverse effect on the health of people living and working in London. One aim of TRAFFIC was to understand better the risks to individuals as they go about their everyday lives."
