Older Road Users

The effects of aging on people as drivers are highly individual. Driving challenges that may impact people as they age include declining vision, decreased flexibility and reaction time. There are also changes in perceptual and cognitive performance. Transitioning from being an independent driver to having to depend on others for transportation is life-changing. In many cases, finding resources for assistance and transportation can be difficult. 

This project will help educate Aging Road Users and their families by providing information and resources for this vulnerable driving group. There is not a specific ORS that cites for aging road user errors, it is usually reckless behaviors that cause the traffic stop and can result in a violation of ORS 811.140 Reckless Driving.
