  1. New ride services offer transportation options for seniors

    Transportation is a big issue for older people. Take Carole Howard for example. She lives in the city's North Side Lincoln Park neighborhood and hasn't owned a car in a long time because she suffers from fibroneuralgia and can't drive. She uses a walker and relies mostly on public transportation to get around. But the number of buses on her route have been cut and the buses are crowded. So it's hard for Howard to get on the bus with her walker. She was even injured not long ago while sitting on the bus when it took a curve too fast and she got hit in the knee by another rider's wheelchair.

  4. Walkable communities are a step ahead

    Ask any senior, and they'll tell you retirement is no time to put your feet up. Experts have been telling us for years that walking is the best route to physical, emotional and social health. (Your feet should be meeting pavement at least 30 minutes a day for moderate activity, according to the Surgeon General.) The Centers for Disease Control says a shift from auto trips to walking and biking is the No. 1 strategy to reduce diseases related to inactivity, such as heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer. There is even new evidence that seniors can preserve the size of their brain and their memory into old age by walking regularly at least six miles per week, says the National Institute on Aging.
