Model Driver Screening and Evaluation Program (posted 07-15-03)

Family and Friends Concerned About an Older Driver - a series of research tasks was undertaken to address the information needs of the families, friends, healthcare providers and community members who have concerns about individual older drivers. This report is a summary of the research that was conducted

Evaluating Drivers Licensed with Medical Conditions in Utah, 1992-1996
The Utah Driver License Division operates a specialized licensing program for drivers who have medical conditions. The program's guideline describes the physical, mental and emotional capabilities appropriate for various types of driving and determines license eligibility by medical condition or functional ability category, and functional ability level (1-12). The intent was to create the least restrictive program possible that was consistent with public safety. Drivers who are licensed with medical conditions may receive a full unrestricted or restricted license depending on their functional ability level. Restricted licenses may include speed, area and/or time of day limitations.

Further Analysis of Drivers Licensed with Medical Conditions in Utah (posted 03-27-01)
This is a follow-up to an earlier study on Utah's Medical Conditions licensing program. In this study, different levels of restrictions within the conditions were examined as they relate to citations, crashes, and at fault crashes. Multiple medical conditions were also evaluated.

Older Road User Research Plan
After a decade of research on older drivers and other road users, several knowledge gaps remain. This report documents the efforts from one contract that was designed to identify the most important research studies to conduct, and the potential order in which they should be conducted.
