CarFit event coming to the Levy Senior Center! Wednesday, May 1 from 10am to 2pm.
What is CarFit?
CarFit is an educational program that offers older adults the opportunity to check how well their personal vehicles "fit" them. The CarFit program also provides information and materials on community-specific resources that could enhance their safety as drivers, and/or increase their mobility in the community.
We will be conducting complimentary 20-minute 12-point inspections checking each individual for adequate space from the steering wheel, proper seat belt use, with seat height, head rests, mirrors, and ease getting in and out of car.

Why is CarFit important?
Driver safety programs improve adult driver safety by addressing cognitive abilities and skills, however, older drivers can also improve their safety by ensuring their cars are properly adjusted for them. A proper fit in one's car can greatly increase not only the driver's safety but also the safety of others.
