The ability to move around the community is important for social and civic participation and access to resources and services. Adequate, safe, and affordable transportation are critical to an age-friendly community. Safe sidewalks, crosswalks, and adequate lighting and signage are also important features, as well as alternate forms of transportation for those who are transitioning from driving.
The Age-Friendly Sarasota County Action Plan includes the goals, objectives, and strategies for the "Transportation" domain during the plan's implementation phase (2022–2025).
How Can You Become Age-Friendly Today?
Join your neighbor for a walk
Leave the closest parking spaces open for others if your mobility is good
Utilize public transportation when you are able to reduce the number of cars on the road
