Senior Transportation: Importance to Healthy Aging

Helen Kerschner and Nina M Silverstein

Community health and social service providers generally identify older adult transportation as one of the top three issues (if not the #1 issue) as a want, a need, and a challenge. The reason is that transportation cuts across a host of critical issues related to healthy aging, and driving cessation or the possibility of driving cessation often triggers negative outcomes including depression and social isolation.
