Abstract
As the global population ages, challenges with providing efficient and accessible transportation services for seniors aging in place become increasingly evident. This research paper explores innovative solutions to address the unique mobility and diverse needs of older adults, aiming to maintain their independence, social engagement and overall quality of life. Through a qualitative investigation that combines literature reviews and expert interviews, this study identifies the central relationship between universal design and service delivery in the form of transportation services. This study will serve as the focal point of ideas for innovation in transportation services, contributing to future changes that shape the vison of aging in place.
