Abstract:A meeting to spotlight research on older adults’ mobility – dubbed ROAM – was held virtually due to COVID-19 on January 11, 2021. Under NHTSA sponsorship, this meeting provided a multi-disciplinary forum oriented toward interested parties sharing news of completed research, reporting on the progress of ongoing studies, and highlighting priorities for future work. The meeting of about 70 participants included physicians and other medical professionals, occupational therapists and certified driver rehabilitation specialists, State DMV officials, mobility service provider specialists, public health practitioners, automated driving system /advanced driver assistance system experts, and other academic and private sector research professionals. ROAM 2021 included a general session and three breakout sessions devoted to medical fitness-to-drive and licensing policy, driving automation and older adults, and transportation alternatives. The meeting supported equity in traffic safety as it addressed disparities faced by older adults.
