Samenvatting
Senior citizens now constitute the fastest growing segment of the United States population, and an increasing number of older adults will continue to travel, both as drivers and as pedestrians, as they age.

This research effort had as its objective the cataloging of those research results that could be applied directly to elements of state and federal transportation systems. (A)
