Surpassing the coverage available in existing gerontology textbooks, it enables the reader to understand and appreciate the challenges faced by older adults as they make the transition from driving to using transportation options, many of which were not designed to meet their particular needs. It considers the physical and cognitive limitations of older adult passengers, the family of transportation services, the challenges providers face in meeting the assistance and support needs of senior passengers, and the transportation methods that do and do not currently meet the needs and wants of senior passengers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis textbook addresses the educational and professional development needs of faculty, students, and practitioners working in the fields of aging, aging services, and transportation. The book has been class-tested and features innovative, practical learning tools that appeal to students and practitioners. It complements any introductory course in gerontology, human development and aging, or human factors, and will enhance the curriculum of programmes in the social behavioural sciences as well as traffic safety, transit engineering, and community planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606304637164,"sku":"9781138959996","price":134.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138959996-introduction-to-senior-transportation.jpg?v=1778150306"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/helen-k-kerschner.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
