Mobile and Socially Connected: engAGEment Fostered by Transportation Access
Connecting older adults to available transportation options in their communities provides an opportunity to foster and maintain social connections. Without the vital connections made through transportation, individuals may feel a loss of independence and reduce involvement in social activities and/or personal hobbies. This engAGED webinar will highlight programs that have been successful in using transportation as a mechanism to prevent social isolation among older adults. Click here for the full slides.
