GAO Reports on Older Driver Safety Issues

  • Older Driver Safety: Knowledge Sharing Should Help States Prepare for Increase in Older Driver Population GAO-07-413, April 11, 2007: “As people age, their physical, visual, and 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.”
  • Older Driver Safety: Survey of States on Their Implementation of Federal Highway Administration Recommendations and Guidelines (GAO-07-517SP), an E-supplement to GAO-07-413 GAO-07-517SP, April 11, 2007: “This document presents selected results of GAO’s survey of the departments of transportation (DOT) in 50 states and the District of Columbia to obtain information on the extent to which states have implemented practices to make roads safer for older drivers.”
