Driving Change: The Urgent Need for Reliable Senior Transportation
By 2040, more than 14.5% of the global population will be age 65 or older (McKinsey & Company). This significant demographic shift emphasizes the urgent need to ensure reliable and efficient transportation services for our seniors.
The Importance of Transportation for Healthy Aging
Access to reliable transportation is a crucial factor in maintaining independence, accessing essential services, and participating in social activities for older adults. The Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH) emphasizes that without adequate transportation, seniors face increased risks of social isolation, which can negatively impact cognitive health and overall well-being . (AARP)(AARP).
