getting around without <strong>Driving</strong><br />
As mentioned earlier, DMV wants you to continue driving<br />
<strong>for</strong> as long as you can safely do so. If you are no longer<br />
capable <strong>of</strong> driving or do not feel safe on the road, you are<br />
not alone.<br />
Many people get by just fine without a car. <strong>Senior</strong><br />
transportation programs can help individuals who do not<br />
drive and cannot use public transportation.<br />
Tips <strong>for</strong> getting around without a vehicle<br />
• <strong>Senior</strong> transportation programs<br />
• Public transportation<br />
• Shuttle buses or vans<br />
• Taxi cabs (find out if there are companies in your<br />
community that <strong>of</strong>fer discounts to seniors)<br />
• Local community-based services<br />
• Carpooling, walking, relocating<br />
• Family, friends, neighbors, or co-workers who <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
rides to stores, medical appointments, church, etc.<br />
Remember, transportation services vary among<br />
communities, so experiment to find out which ones work<br />
best <strong>for</strong> you. For more in<strong>for</strong>mation on services in your<br />
community, look in the Yellow Pages under Community<br />
Services <strong>for</strong> <strong>Senior</strong> Citizens, <strong>Senior</strong> Organizations, or<br />
Transportation, and check the listing <strong>of</strong> resources in this<br />
guidebook starting on page 51.
