Parker, J., Arnold, L.S., Kasha, A. & Yang, C.Y.D. (2025). Summary of LongROAD Research on Older Drivers from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety: 2017–2025 (Research Brief). Washington, D.C.: AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Abstract: While it is important for older adults to maintain their mobility, age-related functional declines can impact driving abilities, with important implications for road safety. To better understand factors influencing the safe mobility of older adults AAAFTS commissioned the Longitudinal Research on Aging Drivers (LongROAD) study, a multisite prospective cohort study designed to generate empirical data for understanding the role of physical, cognitive, behavioral, environmental and technological factors in driving safety during the process of aging. This research brief summarizes key findings and recommendations from the research. The brief concludes with a list of actionable recommendations gleaned from the existing body of work.  

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize the mobility needs of aging drivers and how their needs and abilities change over time.
  
• Identify research findings that improve the safety and mobility of older drivers.
• Develop methods to discuss driving habits and safety with older drivers
