What is Age Friendly Transport?

Being able to get around is important for staying healthy, independent and connected to family, friends and local activities. Age-friendly transport helps older people and people with disabilities travel safely, easily and confidently, whether they are shopping, attending appointments or taking part in community life.

Good transport helps people stay connected, get to appointments, visit friends and family, and take part in community activities. Without it, older people may find it harder to get where they need to go.
