SUMMARY:Driving Fitness\, Health\, & Aging: Considerations for Safe Mobility
DESCRIPTION:For older adults and those who worry about them\, this program 
 strives to inform about how aging-related changes in health and function 
 may impact driving safety\, how the Maine BMV addresses 
 medical-fitness-to-drive concerns\, and how older drivers may self-regulate 
 to remain safely behind the wheel or make a smooth transition into diving 
 retirement.  Co-sponsored with Age Friendly Communities of the Lower 
 Kennebec.\n\nRegistration recommended.\n\n \n\nTom Meuser is a clinical 
 psychologist\, applied gerontologist\, and social scientist based in 
 Portland\, Maine. He moved here in 2018 from Missouri to serve as the 
 Founding Director for the University of New England Center for Excellence 
 in Aging & Health. He retired from this role in 2024 and is now 
 self-employed as a geriatric neuropsychologist and a researcher-educator 
 for both the Maine Bureaus of Motor Vehicles and Highway Safety. Tom led 
 the team which developed Missouri’s approach to the medical evaluation of 
 at-risk drivers in 2009. He was also the program evaluator for the AMA’s 
 Older Drivers Project (which continues now through AGS). His 2025 speaking 
 tour in Maine focuses on informing and empowering older adults\, as well as 
 the clinical providers who serve them\, to make reasoned decisions on 
 driving mobility. Maine’s regulations are an important focus too.
