Past Projects
The number of older Americans will increase dramatically
over the next few decades as baby boomers age and better health care and
prevention continue to increase longevity. By 2029, there will be about 70
million citizens over the age of 65, almost double the current population. Many
might find it increasingly difficult to drive as they get older; therefore, it
is important to have other means of transportation available to this growing
number of aging Americans. To address these transportation needs, many state
and federal agencies have begun to implement policies and protocols to improve
transportation opportunities for older people and to educate them about
existing transit options.
