Abstract
Transportation needs among lower-income older adults are understudied, particularly regarding their relationships with leisure constraints, health, and neighborhood characteristics. This preliminary study assessed 39 older adults residing in subsidized housing and examined their reported modes of transportation for daily activities. The most common transportation mode was relying on others to drive, followed by driving themselves and using public transportation. We also found that transportation utilization was differentially correlated with perceived leisure constraints, health, and neighborhood characteristics. These results highlight the need for a deeper investigation into how transportation impacts the conducive built environments and leisure needs of lower-income older adults.
