TRANSPORTATION

Safe, accessible and affordable modes of public and private transportation that allow residents to move within and outside of the community with independence and flexibility.

Transportation is a complex issue and frequently a top challenge for any community working to become age-friendly. The ability to get around is closely tied to well-being in other areas of life. Yet we live in a car-centric society, and most of us will outlive our ability or desire to drive by 7 to 10 years. Age-Friendly Maple Grove is working to better understand the transportation needs of older residents, and move toward the creation of more and improved options.
