As people age they become less likely to drive, depending instead on other transit options and walkable environments. How will the millions of older adults who live in suburbs with minimal transit get to a pharmacy, walk to a community center, or visit friends and family? Panelists discuss a range of productive short-term and long-term solutions. This program complements the exhibition House & Home, which will be open to attendees before the discussion.
