Rural communities are experiencing outsized impacts from this shift, because older adults are more likely to live in rural areas where private vehicles are often the only reliable means of transportation. On April 15, CTS partnered with the U’s Center for Healthy Aging and Innovation (CHAI) for a webinar to explore transportation and aging, with special attention on the challenges and opportunities in rural areas. The event was part of CTS’s Rural Needs, Statewide Answers: Improving Transportation for All thematic focus for 2024.
