Abstract

This project focused on transportation for older adults in unincorporated areas with particular attention given to Ridgewood Heights in Humboldt County, CA. for older adults. The research looked at current transportation for older adults such as public transportation and paratransit services such as Dial-A-Ride. This researcher interviewed older adults residing in Ridgewood Heights to assess their current means of transportation and mobility. Local meetings that have occurred regarding transportation and the interviews of those who are involved in public transport are considered in this text. This project begins a conversation about local transportation for older adults in rural and unincorporated areas to discuss present services and research new venues of providing transportation.
