Aging Internet Information Notes

As individuals age, changes in vision, physical strength and cognition can contribute to a loss of self-confidence and ability to operate a motor vehicle leading to loss of a drivers license and use of a privately own vehicle. Faced with this situation, some older adults risk personal injury rather than give up their driver’s license. To help older adults and the disabled maintain mobility, local and state governments are making significant improvements in adapting and developing public transportation. Internet sites selected here reflect a broad spectrum of public policy viewpoints associated with these issues as well as resources and information on paratransit systems and tips for travelling.
