Seniors

9-1-1 education for seniors has become a focal point to 9-1-1 for Kids.  As people age, isolation becomes a growing problem, and access and mobility become increasingly critical needs. For older Americans, affordable, reliable transportation options are essential. Public transportation in various forms provides:

• The ability to live independently
• Access to medical and social services
• Contact with the outside world
• The feeling of belonging to the community

America’s aging population is growing at a faster rate than any other U.S. population group, and public transportation systems must continue to be expanded and enhanced to meet this group’s needs. Through the commitment of more transportation dollars to public transit systems, the U.S. will be better able to keep pace with the mobility needs of older persons.

Meeting the most basic needs of America’s older individuals requires enhanced mobility. And the car is not the only travel option. There is a growing recognition of the broad-ranging benefits of public transportation for older Americans, including:

• Greater freedom to live in a variety of settings
• More mobility as a result of more travel choices
• Greater access to varied destinations
• Enhanced opportunities to lead a full and meaningful life

9-1-1 for Kids is collaborating with organizations and agencies who specifically serve seniors to determine the unique needs and most effective methods to teach the aged how to use E-911 and wireless 9-1-1 and VoIP 9-1-1.
