Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Research published last September from NRDC found that 36.6 percent of the population over the age of 10 in the US cannot drive or lack reliable access to a car. Yet nondrivers remain largely invisible. I would conjecture this is largely due to who is most likely to be a nondriver: disabled and poor people, recent immigrants and people of color, young people who can’t yet vote, and people who have aged out of driving.

I would argue that part of the reason so many seniors struggle to imagine a life without driving is a failure to appreciate how many nondrivers exist in their own communities — nondrivers who have developed tactics and strategies for getting where they need to go.
