AAA To Release New Information to Help Keep Seniors Driving Safely Longer; AAA Foundation Unveils Information Clearing House for Seniors Who Can No Longer Drive.

AAA 

WHAT:    Seniors are among the fastest growing population. By 2030,
         one in five will be 65 or older. As we age, we tend to have
         more medical problems and that can have an impact on our
         driving ability. State "Medical Advisory Boards" (MAB) can
         play and important role in evaluating whether a driver is
         mentally or physically fit to drive. Which states have MABs
         and which do not? What are the crucial elements of a MAB that
         can help keep a senior driving safely longer? And when a
         senior is no longer able to drive and does not have access to
         public transportation, where can they go for help?

         interviews upon request:
