Abstract:

In recent years, there has been increased attention given to older drivers and their role in highway safety. Highly publicized crashes, increases in older driver fatality rates, and other related factors have been the basis for policy revisions, educational campaigns, and additional research aimed at reducing the safety risks associated with older drivers. Thus, this research project offers the following information to the MassDOT Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) Division, and other stakeholders, for possible implementation: alternative licensing strategies and/or restrictions for older drivers; an analysis of existing state regulations relevant to older drivers; and a qualitative reflection regarding the mobility options available to older adults that no longer drive. The research approach was generated by a multifaceted review of published and unpublished literature, an analysis of older driver crash characteristics, an analysis of the existing infrastructure for providing a network of mobility options for older adults that no longer drive, and a nationwide survey of State DOTs. The analysis of these specific project elements resulted in recommendations for improvements in Massachusetts regarding both licensing renewal practices and the potential implementation of alternative systems within existing mobility network for older adults.
