Car Fit

What is CarFit?
CarFit was pilot tested in 10 cities in the spring of 2005 with more than 300 driver participants. Based on findings from the CarFit checklists completed at the events and follow-up surveys of participants, the program appears to be highly effective on multiple fronts. Some of the results show:

…over one-third (37%) had at least one critical safety issue needing to be addressed.

…one in ten (10%) were seated too close to the steering wheel.

…approximately 20% did not have a line of sight at least 3″ over the steering wheel.

In addition, the vast majority of those responding to the survey indicated that as a result of having gone through the CarFit event, they made a change to improve the fit of their vehicle, their use of safety features in their vehicle, and/or their willingness to discuss their driving with family and/or health care providers.

Meet one on one with trained occupational therapists who analyze your current vehicle and how well it fits your body and needs.  You will receive a check-list of things which can be improved on,
and requirements that need attention.  Simple learning techniques to increase a driver’s mobility and safety.  This FREE clinic is part of the Occupational Therapy Programming and necessary for
collegiate graduation.  An excellent resource brought to you by CarFit, AAA and AARP.
