• Abstract:
  This project examines the interaction of the built environment, travel behavior, and technology usage among older adults. Decades-long transportation policies favoring vehicle owners have made many older adults disadvantaged in daily travel. Studies and policies specifically addressing older adults’ travel needs do not keep pace with the increasing number and diversity of the aging population.
