Good transportation allows people to travel independently to undertake both essential trips, as well as provide access to social and recreational activities. For people who cannot drive, especially those who are elderly, the availability of good transport options is vital to their health and well-being. In order to determine how well existing transport provisions are servicing older non-drivers, RACV undertook a small qualitative and quantitative study among 125 older Victorians who had recently stopped driving. Survey respondents were asked what transport services they used regularly, what difficulties they had with different forms of transport, and what improvements to transport they thought would be beneficial.
