The focus of the three year project, sponsored by the Governor's Highway Safety Program, has been the development of local resources for safe transportation for older people. The goals of the program are reported here: To develop a manual to be used by any counties seeking to implement a Transportation Needs Assessment for Older People; To develop a brochure that might be distributed within each county that would have county specific information on alternative transportation resources available to older people; To disseminate information about the project to make counties aware of the availability of manuals and brochure covers; The final goal of the project was to examine the crash risk of older drivers in the medical evaluation program to determine if the presence of a secondary or comorbid condition increases crash risk and the extent to which restrictions that are placed by DMV on older drivers have resulted in reductions in their crash and violation involvement.
