Abstract
The United States faces a unique challenge in transportation, driven by its growing senior population. To date, the nation has taken small steps to begin addressing the significant transportation needs of its changing population. Without improvement in highways, vehicles, and user programs, the nation will face difficulty in providing safe transportaton for its older population. To provide safe mobility in the future, managers of our transportation system must lead the nation on many fronts: safer roadways, safer automobiles, better alternative transportation services, and improved competency of older drivers.
