Description

Being able to get around in your community is a critical part of remaining independent and healthy. It helps us feel connected and lets us access opportunities to contribute to our community in meaningful ways. It is also crucial to maintain our physical and emotional well-being. Most Americans age 70 or older have a driver’s license (nearly 90 percent of men and 80 percent of women in that age group). As we age, multiple factors – from cost to physical and mental ability – can make driving more challenging. Making the decision to stop driving is rarely easy, but may be the safest thing to do in some cases.
