摘要：	National statistics show that older drivers will be increasingly exposed to crash risks because older adults are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, and future generations of older drivers are expected to drive more miles per year and at older ages compared with the current older-driver cohort. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that the population of adults aged 65 and older will more than double, from 35.1 million people (12.4 percent of total population) in 2000 to 86.7 million people (20.7 percent of total population) by 2050. Drivers aged 65 and older currently make up almost 17 percent of Pennsylvania.s licensed driving population. By 2020, the number of Pennsylvanians over 65 will increase 21 percent from recent levels, with a concomitant increase in the total number of mature drivers and their percentage of the total driving population.2 Certainly, the issue of an aging driving population is important in all states, but mature driver issues are particularly important in Pennsylvania. Compared to other states, Pennsylvania has the fourth largest state population, has one of the largest networks of roadways to maintain and modify, and is a largely rural state -- with citizens requiring transportation options.
