Description

During this webinar we will review the Planning Complete Streets for an Aging America report published by AARP in May 2009. Jana Lynott and Lucinda Shannon will discuss what local transportation and human service providers can do to encourage Complete Street design and effect changes to increase mobility for older adults in their community.

America needs streets designed to be safe and convenient for travel by automobile, foot, bicycle and transit regardless of age or ability. Jana Lynott, strategic policy advisor in the areas of transportation and livable communities at the AARP Public Policy Institute conducted a study resulting in Complete Streets policy recommendations for planners and legislators. The report, Planning Complete Streets for an Aging America offers planning and engineering practices for older driver and pedestrian mobility and also best practices in making streets work for older travelers.
