Abstract

This paper shows that driving behavior of the senior population in Canadais not very different from the non-senior population. Differences are small, and it can be concluded that seniors who own vehicles may spend a great deal to retain them, use them actively and are quite mobile. This supports the often-stated point that seniors who do not have access to a car or public transit are highly deprived of their mobility and have significant travel requirements that are not met by any means. Quite clearly a senior household with a vehicle is not a member of this deprived group.
