BACKGROUND: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). NHTSA’s mission is to save lives, prevent injuries and reduce traffic-related health care and other economic costs. The agency develops, promotes and implements effective educational, engineering and enforcement programs with the goal of ending preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. To accomplish this, NHTSA develops, promotes, and implements effective educational, engineering, and enforcement programs with the goal of ending preventable tragedies and reducing economic costs associated with vehicle use and highway travel. In 2009, while individuals in at least 25 States had been trained through the train-the trainer model, it was deemed to be costly to deploy two expert trainers plus a classroom of officers for training in one location. As such, NHTSA, in 2011, moved to develop and deploy the current training in its’ web-based form, which appears to be more sustainable at least for a national focused course. Presenting course content suitable for all States on older driver safety, regardless of individual laws and referral processes, incorporates the latest on research, resources and guidance from ongoing national and state projects and allows States to review promising approaches to apply to their State specific issues and approaches. what will remain to be an increasing demand for law enforcement officers to engage with aging drivers. Today’s aging driver includes the large volume of baby boomers who have reached (65+) and are more fit, active and likely to drive further and live longer than their prior cohorts. In fact, studies suggest that many Americans will live beyond their ability to drive safely (men by seven years and women by 10 years). Todays’ law enforcement officer, will more likely engage with aging drivers and are encouraged to understand how safety while driving cannot be based solely on age but on a drivers’ functional abilities utilizing, visual, motor and cognitive skill and processing. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this project is to provide a valuable and applicable web-based training for law enforcement officers regarding older driver safety.
