Book Description
The study was commissioned to increase the effectiveness of the information dissemination process. In order to develop strategies that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administraion could implement, older persons were contacted in focus group settings; organizations that could distribute traffic safety information to older drivers and pedestrians also supplied information to the study team. Individuals with higher socioeconomic backgrounds and more education tend to be attracted to information distributors that make use of facts and figures and to information pertaining health. Individuals with lower socioeconomic backgrounds and less education obtain information through local organizations such as churches and senior centers and are attentive to messages relating to personal security and well being. Out of 69 potential information distributors, 20 were identified with high, repeated exposure to large numbers of elderly people, a central distribution point, established mechanisms, willingness and ability to bear some costs of distribution, and current or potential cooperation with NHTSA. Information on each orgnization is presented in a directory that describes the relevant characteristics of each organization.

Book Description
Explores the mobility and safety needs of older persons. The report examines safety needs of the older person in traffic; reviews potential measures to improve highways, vehicles, driver and pedestrian performance, and alternatives to the private automobile; and assesses public policy questions about costs, the tradeoffs between safety and mobility objectives, and the sometimes conflicting needs of individuals, different age groups, and the public generally. The report also identifies areas for future research and includes recommendations for improvements in highway conditions, vehicle design, licensing, testing, education activities, and transportation alternatives. The report was published in two volumes. Volume 1 contains an overview of the issues and the committee's recommendations; Volume 2 contains the technical papers prepared for the study.
