Providing Senior Citizen Mobility at Minimum Public Cost

This final report combines material previously documented in two working papers on a project to investigate ways of providing cost-effective mobility programs for Senior Citizens at minimum cost to both the public and the beneficiaries. The study was envisioned as: (a) a scan of potentially appropriate mobility solutions from surveys and literature; (b) the development of a transferable procedure for identifying and fulfilling mobility needs; and (c) identification of the most promising programs and innovative ways of financing senior mobility needs at low cost. The study is focused on California, but lessons are gleaned from national and international sources. The case study location is San Luis Obispo County, but findings and procedures developed are anticipated to be useable at State and national levels. This final report covers review of the literature, the analysis of survey data and other background information and resulting conclusions.
