Carfit — Helping Mature Drivers Fine Their Perfect Fit
CarFit is an educational program created by the American Society on Aging and developed in collaboration with AAA, AARP, and the American Occupational Therapy Association. This workshop promotes continued safe driving and mobility among older drivers by focusing attention on senior driver placement in their vehicle in an open environment that encourages conversations about driving. Certified technicians provide information, education, and community-based resources to older drivers.
A CarFit check-up is done by appointment and is designed to take no longer than 20 minutes to assess the “fit” between the vehicle and the driver.
