The RSVP Volunteer Program, sponsored by Volunteers of America Minnesota, is bringing a free driver safety event to many locations this spring. At this educational event, drivers 55 and over will receive a quick but comprehensive check of how well they and their vehicles work together.
Trained volunteers will ask simple
questions to complete a 12-point checklistof things like mirror
adjustments, seatbelts, lights, flashers, and more. The entire
process takes about 20 minutes per vehicle, and participants leave with
recommended safety adjustments and adaptations, a list of local
resources--and greater peace of mind.
CarFit is NOT a driver assessment program. It was developed as a public service by the American Society on Aging in collaboration with AARP, American Occupational Therapy Association and AAA in order to increase driver safety.

The RSVP volunteer
program is part of a national organization that matches people 55 and over with
opportunities to serve the community. One of RSVP's main focus areas is helping
older adults and people with disabilities to remain safe and independent for as long as possible.
