Transportation and Driving Concerns

Transportation is a major symbol (and reality) of autonomy and freedom. However, as peoples' abilities change, it is sometimes necessary to refresh driving skills or to stop driving altogether. Should your loved one still be driving? What other options exist? Many Montreal-based resources exist to keep seniors active and engaged, including adapted and subsidized transportation.
