AAA Foundation Hosts Successful License Policies Workshop

A workshop on how to improve driver licensing policies closed with a consensus-based list of recommendations on policies, best practices, needed research, and elements of a model licensing program. The panel of over 30 experts met at the AAA Foundation headquarters in Washington, D.C., December 6 and 7. The established goal of the meeting was to formulate an improved set of recommendations for policymakers and other stakeholders. Panelists also identified knowledge gaps and necessary research needs which will guide the Foundation’s research agenda in the long-term focus area of Senior Safety and Mobility. The workshop will result in publication of workshop proceedings, as well as a comprehensive report scheduled for release early in 2008.
