Transportation & Driver Evaluations
Description
The Transportation & Driver Evaluation page on Blount Seniors offers essential resources to help local older adults maintain safe mobility and independence. It highlights Driver Evaluations & Education services—like training and assessments through the Tennessee Dept. of Safety—to help seniors determine if they're still fit to drive or should consider phased driving changes. It also features the popular SMiles volunteer transportation program, which provides door-through-door rides for Blount County residents aged 60+, offered by vetted volunteer drivers who use private vehicles for errands, appointments, and social outings. This service bridges gaps for seniors who have stopped driving or need a safer alternative, fostering autonomy and reducing isolation in the community.
