Welcome to The Beverly Foundation
Description
Senior Transportation and Mobility
The Beverly Foundation's mission is to foster new ideas and options to enhance mobility and transportation for today's and tomorrow's older population. The foundation pursues this mission through a specialized series of research programs, community demonstrations, and technical assistance products .
The foundation's annual STAR Search program exemplifies its mission statement in action. STAR Search exists to gather information about volunteer driver programs across the country, and then present that information back to the community in the form of research reports and assistive products.
Volunteer driver programs have the chance to win STAR Award s by submitting informational surveys. The data collected from the surveys forms the basis for the Foundation’s ongoing study into transportation options for seniors. Original products generated from the program include Stories From The Road - a book of personal experiences of volunteer drivers. Combined with detailed statistical information, this collection of stories informs and entertains, and shows the unexpected benefits of this vital transportation option.
