Driving Change Together

September 12, 2024

Led by Leeds Older People’s Forum (LOPF), Driving Change Together worked closely with older people in Leeds to understand ‘what works’ to encourage older drivers to assess their driving ability as they age and consider safer alternatives whilst maintaining a social and independent life. 

The number of older drivers is increasing and evidence suggests that they are more likely to be killed or seriously injured in road traffic incidents. At a local level, DCT also ties in with Leeds City Council’s Vision Zero 2040 strategy, which aims to eliminate fatal and serious injuries as a result of road collisions by 2040.
