We aim to solve this by creating a neighborhood transportation loop that links already-funded public health and social resources in order to ease movements to and between these key nodes of services and social interactions for older adults.</p><p><strong>Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community? </strong></p><p>The City is (correctly) spending millions of dollars in hundreds of neighborhoods across our city on important health and social infrastructure so support older adults. But if we aren't also investing in new and easy ways to help older adults access these resources we are squandering the underlying investments AND we are leaving older adults most in need of those services (and the important social connections they provide) short-changed. The neighborhoods of NYC create amazing environments to age in place, but we often underestimate the challenges of navigating these communities (in both densely populated and more dispursed areas).</p><p><strong>What idea do you have to address the problem?</strong></p><p>We are proposing to model and test a free transportation loop that links a small number of key older adult social service destinations (NYC funded Older Adult Centers, NYC Libraries, Parks Spaces, etc) using a light van system, that operates through the day on a predictable schedule to help move older adults between each of these popular and critical destinations. The idea would be similar to what several local companies, education or medical institutions use to help move students and employees from one site/campus to another. While we don't relish the idea of adding more cars/vans to our streets, we believe that this could be a targeted and helpful way to connect hundreds of seniors each week to important social and health services they want and need.</p><p><strong>Who would that help?</strong></p><p>We expect the program could help and serve the thousands of older adults who are already members of services, and help connect thousands of other older adults living across our neighborhoods to these services, supports and to each other.</p><p><strong>What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?</strong></p><p>Manhattan</p>"},"title":{"en":"Older Adult Transportation-Connections Project"}}
