CarFit Event for Older Drivers

Location:
Parking Lot H (corner of 8th and Badger Streets)
Time
Time:
9:00 am - 11:30 am
Students from Western's Occupational Therapy Assistant program will be hosting an event to help improve older driver safety. CarFit is an educational program developed by AAA, AARP, and the American Occupational Therapy Association where trained volunteers check how well personal vehicles "fit." They will show seniors how to enhance comfort, safety, and fit within their vehicles. Having the proper fit inside a vehicle can help protect the driver and others. The CarFit check takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Information and resources will also be shared during the event, which is free and open to the public.
