Abstract:

Out of a series of regional forums, focus groups, conferences, and stakeholder roundtables over the last several years, a vision of America's transportation system has evolved. It is summarized in the opening paragraph and set forth as a National Agenda to provide safe mobility for a maturing society. Its organizing principle is to enable safe driving as late in life as possible and to offer other convenient transportation options when walking and driving are not feasible. The National Agenda identifies the following seven areas where professionals need to make concerted efforts to manage safe transportation for our aging population: 1) Develop state and local safe-mobility action plans; 2) Promote safer, easier-to-use roadways; 3) Create safer, easier-to-use automobiles; 4) Improve older driver competency; 5) Promote better, easier-to-use public transportation services; 6) Better public information; and 7) Basic and social research needs.
