What’s New

Transportation: The Silent Need, a new report from the National Center on Senior Transportation (NCST), provides results of a survey of the nationwide network of Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) on their knowledge and opinions about senior transportation. The NCST conducted this survey as a first step toward the goal of identifying the ways in which aging and transportation service providers are involved in transportation for older adults. (More)

Diversity & Senior Transportation Booklet

By 2020, 23.6 percent of the older population in the U.S. will represent culturally or ethnically diverse groups. To address this issue, in December 2008, the NCST convened a National Coalition on the Mobility Needs of Culturally and Ethnically Diverse Elders. The coalitions recommendations are prioritized and organized in a new booklet entitled, “Everyone Rides: Transportation Access for Culturally and Ethnically Diverse Elders.”
