Do you need an injury prevention project to address motor vehicle crashes and injuries among seniors? The CarFit program is an easy program to bring to your community and training is provided for FREE!

Older drivers are often the safest drivers in that they are more likely to wear their seatbelts and less like to speed or drink and drive. However, older drivers are more likely to be killed or seriously injured when a crash does occur due to the greater fragility of their aging bodies.

The CarFit program is an educational program that offers older adults the opportunity to check how well their personal vehicles ‘fit’ them. At a CarFit event, a team of trained technicians and/or health professionals work with each participant to ensure they ‘fit’ their vehicle properly for maximum comfort and safety. A CarFit check takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
