55+ Driver Safety Task Team
The 55+ Driver Safety Task Team’s goal is to maintain the mobility and safety of drivers 55 years of age and up, while making the roadways safer for all road users.

- Promote safe driving among aging road users
- Address older adult mobility issues and improve access to alternative mobility options
- Address knowledge gaps related to aging driver safety among traffic engineers and highway designers
- Collaborate with partner organizations to increase knowledge about aging driver safety concerns and available resources.
