Q.  Who should seniors contact if they have questions about their ability to drive?
A.  A senior’s decision about whether or not to drive will often involve many people.  It may be necessary to discuss the issue with the spouse, other family members and health care professionals such as a doctor or driver rehabilitation specialists, in order to determine if it’s time to find other forms of transportation.   A health care professional, depending on the state, may also refer patients to the state’s Medical Advisory Board to determine under which conditions it is safe to drive, or whether it is safe to drive at all.

Q.  What options are available to seniors when it is no longer safe for them to drive?
A.  Options will vary from community to community and may include public transportation, specialized transportation (such as para-transit), or supplemental transportation programs (STPs) for seniors.  STPs are community-based transportation programs that complement or supplement existing transportation services and get seniors where they need to go.  They are organized to meet those needs through trip chaining, transportation escorts, door-through-door service and numerous other means of personal support.
