Preserving the Mobility and Safety of Older Americans
Today’s older Americans enjoy a level of mobility and an active lifestyle that far outpaces previous generations. Demographic trends indicate that the number and proportion of older Americans have increased dramatically in recent years and will continue to do so. The provision of transportation improvements that will make it easier for older American’s to maintain their mobility will benefit users of all ages, and anticipated developments in self-driving and connected vehicles have the potential to provide older Americans with additional mobility options in the future.
