• Abstract:
  The purpose of the study was to determine: (1) the factors influencing why people stop driving (driving cessation); (2) the physical and emotional barriers delaying driving cessation; (3) the opportunities available for alternative transportation after driving cessation; (4) whether drivers make relocation decisions on the basis of driving cessation; (5) the warning signs that make a driver stop driving; and (6) whether a crisis situation generally forces a driver to cease driving. Data was broken down demographically and regionally. The information gathered from this study is being used to assist ODOT in planning for the transit needs of the growing population of older Oregonians, both those who drive and those who have chosen to stop driving.
