Mobility for seniors
Driving is demanding—that’s why it’s important to stay physically and mentally sharp. This is especially true for seniors who are coping with the effects of aging.
The CAA-Quebec Foundation provides support for seniors to keep them on the road as long as possible and equips them to maintain their mobility and independence when the time comes to hang up their keys.
Tools to help senior drivers (in French only)
Are you increasingly stressed about driving, but even more so about hanging up your keys?
CAA-Quebec and its Foundation for Road Safety, in collaboration with the Association québécoise des retraité(e)s des secteurs public et parapublic (AQRP), are providing older people with tools that will help them achieve a different kind of mobility. Discover our video about alternatives to the car, such as electric bicycles, motorized mobility aids—electric wheelchairs or three-wheel and four-wheel scooters—, along with the safest ways to use them.
