• Abstract:
  Mobility challenges faced by older adults in ; rural Michigan include long travel distances to obtain basic services or medical ; care, and the limited availability of public, ; private or volunteer transportation providers. Because of these challenges, adults in ; rural areas often continue to drive at an ; older age than suburban or urban residents, ; even though they typically take longer ; trips, often on remote, unlit, or unpaved ; roads. ; MDOT saw a clear need to better understand the specific barriers to improved ; mobility among older rural residents and ; formulate strategies to overcome those ; barriers.
