| dc.description.abstract | Safe mobility for older adults is a multifaceted and complex issue, and
no single solution exists to address the needs of a diverse senior
population. Solutions to improve transportation for seniors are
impeded by a range of obstacles including: (1) increasing demand due
to large increases in the elderly population; (2) inadequate funding and
the need for clarification in jurisdictional responsibility; (3) the extreme
winter conditions experienced in Manitoba; and (4) heavy reliance on
the automobile and limited support for alternative forms of
transportation. In the province of Manitoba previous research has
emphasized that the lack of appropriate mobility resources for seniors
in both urban and rural settings hinders the promotion of
independence, quality of life and empowerment that are all crucial
factors for successful aging. | en_US |
