Florida is home to one of the fastest-growing populations of older adults in the United States, with nearly 21% of residents aged 65 and older—a percentage that continues to climb. FDOT District 5 reflects this demographic shift, creating an urgent need to address the unique mobility and safety challenges faced by aging road users.

The Aging Road Users campaign closely aligns with Florida’s Target Zero initiative, which aims to eliminate transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries across all travel modes. By supporting the Safe Mobility for Life program, the campaign leverages a statewide framework for education, engineering, and enforcement strategies tailored to older adults. This alignment ensures that local actions in District 5 are part of a coordinated, evidence-based approach to improving transportation safety for all Floridians.
Older adults are generally more vulnerable to serious injury or fatality in crashes due to age-related physical changes, medical conditions, and increased fragility. As such, ensuring safe and accessible transportation for this population is both a public health priority and a cornerstone of inclusive mobility planning.
