PRESS RELEASE: GTIPI Launches CarFit (.pdf Download)
CarFit
is a national program developed through collaboration
among AAA, the American Society on Aging, AARP and
the American Occupational Therapy Association.
Using CarFit, GTIPI will help Georgia seniors find
out how the effects of aging change the way they fit
in their vehicles and how that can affect their driving.
CarFit is designed to give seniors a quick, comprehensive
check on how well their vehicles suit their abilities.
The number of seniors in Georgia is growing rapidly.
People over 65 are the fastest-growing population
segment in the U.S. By 2030, one in five
drivers will be age 65 or older, which means there
will be more than 30 million older drivers on U.S.
roads. In May 2006, GTIPI began CarFit in
Georgia , the first program of its kind for
senior drivers in the state. GTIPI’s goal is
to keep seniors driving safely for as long as possible.
