  2. Aims of Presentation • Review evolving demographic context of personal transportation needs • Identify potential opportunities to • Accommodate forthcoming shifts • Design new initiatives • Guide Federal spending decisions

  3. A Changing Demographic Landscape • Maturing age distribution • Influx of working-age immigrants • Urban and rural settlement patterns

  4. 1. Maturing Age Distribution • Future population growth: concentrated mostly within the 50 + age range • Older workers: extending working careers • “Two-generation geriatric” families: growing more commonplace
