Enhancing Older Adults’ Mobility in Active Living and Tiered Living Communities
This project focuses on older adults' mobility, especially those living in active living and/or tiered communities. The research methods include a comprehensive review of existing governing development regulations and design criteria related to the senior communities and surveys of different people involved with some of these communities in California with a goal to recommend improvements to community design for active living and tiered living communities. Ultimately, this research will help California plan for substantial future increases in the senior population.

Impacts/Benefits of Implementation:
Dedicated to enhancing the design of active transportation networks in the older adult communities, this study is expected to benefit Californians in three ways:
• Allow planning and other relevant agencies to develop policies that improve the design of active transportation networks, which has enormous benefits for both the environment and public health.
• Yield better evaluation of the development regulations for active transportation in both active and tiered living communities.
• Lead to enhanced prioritization of projects dedicated to the promotion of active transportation of older adults.
