FACT

In May 2019, Florida was designated
as an Age-Friendly State in the AARP

Network of Livable Communities.

Lifelong Communities
A lifelong community is one in which you can live with some
level of independence in a residence of your choice. This
includes having access to features and services needed daily
that contribute to a rewarding, healthy, and active lifestyle.
Many of the options we discussed in this chapter are essential
to a lifelong community that benefit residents of all ages.
When developing your transportation plan it is important to
determine if your community or one you may be considering
retiring to will meet your lifelong transportation needs.

For more information on AARP’s Age-Friendly
Communities in Florida, go to the Statewide Resources
in Chapter 5. To order a free copy of the Lifelong
Community Transportation Checklist, go to the Safe
Mobility for Life Resource Center in Chapter 5.

Now that you have thought about where you need to
go and how you can get there, we will walk you through
some worksheets in Chapter 4 to help develop your
personal transportation plan.

Moving to an area providing multiple
modes of transportation. It was liberating!
