The Bucks County Commissioners' Senior Task Force and the Bucks County Area Agencyon Aging (BCAAA) recognize that the mobility and safety of older adults are planning priorities of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission. The Bucks County Area Agency on Aging (BCAAA) requested that DVRPC assist in the development and compilation of a survey to assess mobility issues facing Bucks County's older adults. This survey will help determine the immediate and long-term needs and issues that define the health and mobility of adults as they age. The survey goal was to gather relevant information about age, location, health, mobility, trip purpose, and transportation options in the county. This information will assist the Bucks County Area Agency on Aging in further defining the needs and desires of seniors in the county. In addition to this survey, DVRPC staff prepared Data Snapshots Series 1, Number 1: Bucks County Senior Mobility Assessment, a brief synopsis and analysis of Bucks County senior demographics and transportation statistics. That publication included an overview of applicable demographics; existing senior housing and medical facilities; existing transportation facilities and services; and transportation safety, including an analysis of senior-involved crash data.
