• Abstract:
  As the population of Texans who are aging continues to grow, the role that transportation plays
  
  in the promotion of healthy aging is useful information for policy makers to plan and provide for
  
  the safe and healthy aging of Texas’s population.
  
  Transportation is a primary consideration to ensuring that Texas is well prepared to provide for
  
  the needs of the aging population. Not only does transportation ensure that this segment of the
  
  population has adequate access to necessary services and care, it is also an important component
  
  of ensuring independence and high quality of life for the aging population. This report provides
  
  an overview of how transportation impacts healthy aging and documents the policies and
  
  programs that promote healthy aging through transportation.
