DOCUMENTARY: GETTING AROUND - ALTERNATIVES FOR SENIORS WHO NO LONGER DRIVE
"'Getting Around -Alternatives for Senior Who No Longer Drive'' showcases best practice models and activists for alternatives to the car such as the innovative Portland, Maine-based Independent Transportation Network, soon to be piloted in Los Angeles in collaboration with Center for Healthy Aging; TRIP, the Riverside County, California "friendly volunteer" ride service, and 80 yr. old Lolly Mann, a public transportation activist who advocates tirelessly for more senior-friendly bus stops, shelters and routes. Also featured is the busy van service operated by the Sheridan Senior Center, in rural Wyoming where no other public transportation exists; and Phoenix, Arizona, where citizens passed a 1/2 percent sales tax to fund major public transportation improvements and expand access van service."-getting-around.org
