As Baby Boomers age out of driving, there is an urgent need for American cities to revise their transportation policies to cater to the mobility needs of older adults. In a discussion with law professor Greg Shill, the necessity of addressing 'design essentialism', the implications of traffic enforcement, and attracting seniors to more accessible areas are examined. Furthermore, the conversation highlights the potential role of alternative vehicles, including golf carts, in supporting the changing transportation landscape for seniors.
As Baby Boomers age out of driving, American cities must adapt their policies to accommodate the new transportation needs of older adults.

Getting seniors to move to more accessible locations is crucial, but so is transforming existing communities to support varied transportation methods for older populations.
The discussions around seniors and mobility cannot ignore the practicalities of alternative vehicles, like golf carts, in meeting their transportation challenges.
