Aiding Older Adults

A trio of UTA researchers is working to improve transportation for older adults in DFW assisted-living communities.

Assistant Professors Caroline Krejci (industrial, manufacturing, and systems engineering), Kate Hyun (civil engineering), and Kathy Lee (social work) are analyzing data from various sources to identify available transportation access and options for older adults. They then plan to survey older adults to better understand their mobility needs, potential barriers, and other issues.
