Download both fact sheets here or call 202.872.0888 for copies of these publications.
Transportation: The Silent Need
The NCST report, Transportation: The Silent Need, provides results of a survey of the nationwide network of Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) on their knowledge and opinions about senior transportation. The NCST conducted this survey as a first step toward the goal of identifying the ways in which aging and transportation service providers are involved in transportation for older adults. (More)
Diversity & Senior Transportation Booklet
By 2020, 23.6 percent of the older population in the U.S. will represent culturally or ethnically diverse groups. To address this issue, in December 2008, the NCST convened a National Coalition on the Mobility Needs of Culturally and Ethnically Diverse Elders. The coalitions recommendations are prioritized and organized in a new booklet entitled, “Everyone Rides: Transportation Access for Culturally and Ethnically Diverse Elders.”
