abstract="Many communities and organizations nationwide have created supplemental transportation programs (STPs) to help meet the needs of the growing nondriving senior population. This article describes why these programs are needed and how the services work. Alternative transportation programs enable people to stay mobile even when they need to reduce or stop driving. They provide a safe, low-cost transportation alternative that allows seniors to secure basic necessities and remain involved in the community. STPs vary widely, from volunteer driver programs that offer door-to-door (and door-through-door) assistance to large group transportation fleets. People and organizations in the fields of health care, law enforcement, driver licensing, social and aging services, and transportation safety are leading the expansion and improvement of many of these types of transportation alternatives.<p />",
