Abstract:

As Florida’s aging population increases, the demand to ensure safe mobility for older adults also increases, especially since aging road users are vulnerable to serious and fatal crashes. Over 20% of Florida residents are aged 65 or older, and this number is projected to increase by 2045. Age is linked with a decline in vision, cognition, and reaction time, which increases crash risks, particularly in vehicle-pedestrian crashes. Between 2012 and 2016, fatalities involving older drivers in Florida rose by 41%, underscoring the urgency for targeted safety measures.
