Senior transportation covers the real options available when driving is no longer safe or possible: public transit programs designed for older adults, medical transport services, volunteer driver networks, ride-sharing alternatives, and how to think through the decision to stop driving altogether. This is where people land when they need to understand what's actually out there and how different solutions work in practice.
