• Abstract:
  Florida leads the nation with over 20% of the population age 65 years and older, and this percentage is expected to continue to grow. As part of the strategies to improve the safety and mobility of the aging population, this research project developed a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based approach to identify and prioritize target regions to conduct outreach activities to support the Florida Department of Transportation's Safe Mobility for Life Program. The specific research objectives include: (1) identify and prioritize target regions; (2) recommend specific outreach activities at the target regions; (3) develop an approach to quantify the impact of outreach activities; and (4) develop procedures to conduct the analysis annually.
