CHP Grant Focuses on Safe Senior Driving
With people living longer, the population of senior drivers out on the roads is growing. With the support of a year-long federal grant through the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is working to help older drivers maintain their independence through driving a vehicle for as long as safely possible. The grant is entitled Keeping Everyone Safe (KEYS), and through its funding, the agency will promote the traffic safety program, Age Well, Drive Smart, which emphasizes road safety and mobility for the senior population of California.
