Abstract
The purpose of the project is to document the need for affordable, available and accessible transportation, and to make recommendations for possible funding to address the need for safe and affordable transportation for seniors so they can maintain a healthy lifestyle. These recommendations are based upon a thorough review of existing reports related to transportation and senior needs, as well as an additional survey of programs providing transportation related services and services to older adults in three counties of similar size.
