Introduction
Getting
older doesn't automatically mean that you should stop driving. However, many Senior’s
driving abilities diminish greatly when their reflexes slow and their vision
deteriorates. There comes a time for
every Senior where driving is no longer safe for you and others on the road.
This loss of driving ability is even more pronounced for people who have
age-related health conditions, such as dementia, alzheimer’s, hearing or vision
problems, strokes, Parkinson's disease, arthritis and diabetes.
About
one in six American drivers is 65 and older, according to the AAA. It’s estimated that this age group will grow
to more than 45 million drivers by 2021. The Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety reports that fatal crashes per mile traveled increase at about age
70 and peak at age 85 and older. Many seniors resist giving up their cars
because they don’t want to give up the independence that their car symbolizes. Many seniors also take a variety of
medications, some of which may further impair their driving abilities.
Many
seniors need transportation support. Many Seniors struggle to get the supplies
they need to remain healthy and safe at home.
Senior ride share clubs can
fill a critical need in helping seniors stay healthy and safe while living
independently at home. Safe and
secured rideshare for seniors can be a cost-effective transportation alternative. Social isolation is also a risk factor for
many seniors. Seniors want to come and
go and enjoy life on their own terms. Senior
ride share clubs can help prevent them from getting isolated.
Zip Code based Ride Share Clubs USA provide a host of benefits for their senior users. All applicants for club membership receive background checks of criminal history prior to having their membership approved. Applicants pay for their own background check ($75 non-refundable). Clubs will have no more than 30 to 60 members in their Members Only Ride Share System. Club members can book their ride pickup time and location and the destination location up to 90 days in advance. Other club members can share the same ride if their pickup location and destination location align with the route. Club members pay $250 per month for up to 250 miles of transportation in that month. If a club member uses more than 250 miles of transportation in any month, their credit card will be billed $1.50 per extra mile. By ridesharing, we mean two or more persons traveling in an automobile together. Besides creating economy in fuel costs
