RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION: CONFERENCE BREAKOUT SESSIONS

In 1998 the Transportation Research Board (TRB) agreed to review and follow up TRB Special Report 218: "Transportation in an Aging Society." A committee was formed to guide the overall process and, specifically, to develop and implement an international conference. The purposes of the conference were to review research-related and other activities completed since the release of Special Report 218 that dealt with older-people transportation issues, identify future research needs, and address the implementation of research findings. The conference was organized around a series of themes. Each of the theme areas was informed by one or more state-of-the-art reports, developed by experts in the area. To stimulate discussion among the participants, the program included 16 breakout sessions relating to the theme areas. This paper presents the results of the breakout sessions.
