    One of the biggest challenges facing older adults and people with disabilities is finding transportation services in their community that meet their needs. This session will focus on transportation and mobility options for older adults and people with disabilities when driving is no longer an option. Topics will include the importance of mobility for social connections and health, the range of mobility options, transportation accessibility, and ADA considerations. Information on finding community resources for transportation through information and referral/assistance (I&R/A) programs, the role of mobility managers, and assistance from aging services and CILs will also be provided. An introduction to a new I&R resource from the Eldercare Locator called the Disability Information and Assistance Line (DIAL) will be featured. DIAL specialist refers callers to the appropriate local transportation and other key community resources, taking their unique mobility needs into consideration.
