TRANSPORTATION SAFETY & TRAINING
⫸ SAFE Delaware County Coalition provides educational programs and resources relating to injury prevention to keep our county a safe place to live. The CarFit program is a mature driver safety workshop that offers older adults the opportunity to check how well their personal vehicles “fit” them. The program also provides information and materials on community-specific resources that could enhance their safety as drivers and/or increase their mobility in the community.
