In a study of older adults and their travel patterns in Oregon, a statewide mail survey and telephone interviews were conducted with older drivers and older adults who had voluntarily chosen to stop driving. The purpose of the study was to determine: (1) the factors that influence driving cessation; (2) the physical and emotional barriers that delay driving cessation; (3) what opportunities exist for alternative transportation after driving cessation; (4) whether drivers make relocation decisions on the basis of driving cessation; (5) the warning signs that make a driver stop driving; and (6) whether a crisis situation generally forces a driver to stop driving. Completed mail surveys included those from 342 respondents who were current drivers (184 urban and 141 rural, plus 17 who did not report whether they lived in an urban or rural area) and 158 respondents who had voluntarily ceased driving (110 urban and 37 rural, plus 11 who did not report their urban/rural status). Telephone interviews were completed with 33 urban drivers, 36 rural drivers, 25 urban ceasers, and 6 rural ceasers. Changes in driving patterns, occurred gradually and late, mostly for respondents in their late 70's or early 80's. Among the results of the study was the finding that those most likely to have chosen to stop driving were older, depressed females in poorer health who were living in senior housing, using alternative transportation when available, making fewer trips, and seeing fewer limitations associated with using alternative transportation. Relocation to improve access to transportation alternatives was not seen by most respondents as a viable option. Because this study was a cross-sectional, not longitudinal, analysis, it was not possible to determine causality (e.g., to know whether people became depressed as a result of ceasing to drive or being depressed led them to cease driving, or to know whether poor health was the result or cause of driving cessation). Additional research is needed to establish causality, ideally following groups of individuals in particular age cohorts over time, including individuals forced to stop driving through the Medically-At-Risk Program. Such research would enable better understanding of the factors affecting driving decisions and the effects of those decisions, and help to signal possible strategies to implement to encourage the use of alternative transportation.

The research reviewed best practices, identified overrepresentations of serious crashes involving older drivers and pedestrians using Oregon crash data, and mapped the best practices and countermeasures. From 2013 to 2016, there were 884 older driver and 112 older pedestrian fatal and serious injury crashes. Older driver fatal and serious injury crashes most often occurred between 3 to 6 p.m., on Mondays, on rural principal arterials, at intersections, and within 20 miles of a driver's home. Fixed-object, turning-movement crashes were the most frequent crash types. Not at fault, not yielding the right-of-way, and speeding too fast for conditions were the most frequent driver-level causes. Older pedestrian fatal and serious injury crashes most often occurred between 3 to 6 p.m., on Friday, at intersections. Crossing between intersections and crossing at an intersection without a traffic signal was the most frequent pedestrian action. Crash proportions were statistically different for the time of day, day of the week, roadway classification, and various participant-level crash causes. A population-based crash rate analysis found county-level differences in older driver fatal and serious injury crashes in Oregon (Harney) and for pedestrians (Baker, Morrow, Curry, Hood River, Umatilla, and Washington). Using a comprehensive list of potential countermeasures and input from key stakeholders at a workshop, specific recommendations were generated to improve older driver and pedestrian safety. The priority focus areas were identified for older drivers as intersections, rural principal arterials, and licensing and education. For older pedestrians, treatments to improve pedestrian visibility and illumination, manage left turns, and to shorten crossing distances were recommended.

As people age, their physical, visual, & cognitive abilities may decline, making it more difficult for them to drive safely. Older drivers are also more likely to suffer injuries or die in crashes than drivers in other age groups. These safety issues will increase in significance because older adults represent the fastest-growing U.S. population segment. This report examined: (1) what the fed. gov¿t. has done to promote practices to make roads safer for older drivers & the extent to which states have implemented those practices; (2) the extent to which states assess the fitness of older drivers & what support the fed. gov¿t. has provided; & (3) what initiatives selected states have implemented to improve the safety of older drivers. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
