摘要：	This document begins with the demographic setting by which future transportation problems must be viewed. It includes a detailed description of the aging process and the medical issues which should be of concern for older adults in all modes. It then reviews the issue of safety, including crash involvement of older operators, and the risk management systems that have evolved in each commercial mode. The next section moves into the area of lifelong mobility, and examines what can be done to keep older adults safely mobile, including the provision of non-driver alternatives, countermeasures for the fragility of older adults, and what can be done with new technology to add to the years over which older adults can continue to operate independently and safely. There are unsafe drivers in all age categories, and the report details the programs to identify and evaluate the problems particular to older drivers, and what can be done to help them. The report also discusses such issues as mobility and the quality of life, and personal security.
