52 CarFit offers older adults: • The opportunity to check out how well their personal vehicles “fit” them. • Information and materials for community-specific resources and activities to make their personal vehicles “fit” better, enhance their safety as drivers, and/or increase their mobility in the community. The program uses a team of trained event coordinators and health professionals who work with each participant at a scheduled CarFit event. In addition to CarFit, AAA also offers a CD-based screening tool called Roadwise Review. It allows seniors to measure eight functional abilities necessary for safe driving. aarP 601 E Street NW Washington, DC 20049 Telephone: 1-888-687-2277 Website: www.aarp.org american association of homes and services for the aging 2519 Connecticut Ave., NW Washington, DC 20008 Telephone: (202) 783-2242 Website: www.aahsa.org
