CarFit: Helping Mature Drivers Find Their Safest Fit

This free program is being offered by the Injury Prevention Center of Hartford Hospital/CT Children’s Medical Center and the local AARP, in cooperation with Elmwood Senior Center and West Hartford Human & Leisure Services.

Trained volunteers will lead drivers through a 12 point checklist with their vehicle, recommend personal vehicle adjustments and adaptations, and offer community specific resources and activities that could make their personal vehicles “fit” better or enhance their safety.

An occupational therapist will also be on hand to provide information to older drivers on how to maintain and strengthen driving health. Individual appointments will take approximately 30 minutes.
