Florida leads the nation with 17 percent of our population 65 years and older. As the number of residents continues to grow, Florida will remain number 1 with 27.1 percent of our population projected to be 65+ in 2030, compared to 19.7 percent for the rest of the nation (U.S. Census Bureau).

Florida is also leading the nation in preparations for these changes with implementation of programs and resources such as this website. Safe and Mobile Seniors is a virtual "one stop shop" for transportation safety and mobility information for drivers and pedestrians 65 years and older living in Florida. Developed through the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) aging road user program "Safe Mobility for Life", this site provides Floridians easy access to information and resources in an effort to improve the safety, access and mobility of our growing aging population. 

Bookmark this site and use it as a reference to stay connected to the latest transportation safety and mobility resources and information. FDOT has made a commitment to keep the information on this website current and easily accessible while also providing a location where agencies and organizations can provide updates on their own transportation related programs and activities aimed at seniors. To assist in this effort, the site is frequently updated with new features and/or information posted below.
