  CarFit: Ensuring Your Car’s Safest Fit--for drivers 55+

To register: 651-266-6447---Drive-ups welcome!                          

 

At this educational event, drivers 55 and over will receive a quick but comprehensive check of how well they and their vehicles work together. 

  

 Trained volunteers will ask simple questions to complete a 12-point  checklist, of things like mirror adjustments, seatbelts, lights, flashers, and more.  The entire process takes about 20 minutes per vehicle, and participants leave with recommended safety adjustments and adaptations, a list of local resources--and greater peace of mind.

CarFit is NOT a driver assessment program.  It was developed as a public service by the American Society on Aging in collaboration with AARP, American Occupational Therapy Association and AAA in order to increase driver safety.

The RSVP volunteer program is part of a national organization that matches people 55 and over with opportunities to serve the community. One of RSVP's main focus areas is helping older adults and people with disabilities to remain safe and independent  for as long as possible. 

Volunteers Needed: 

Help keep seniors independent 
    

Help seniors age in place by being a friendly visitor, errand driver, grocery shopper,  CarFit technician, and more --flexible schedule! 

RSVP can connect you to these opportunities and more ways to help seniors age in place.
