Do you work with seniors? Consider taking the CarFit Technician Training!
People over 65 are the fastest-growing population in the United States. By 2030 there will be more than 30 million older drivers on our roads. Changes in vision, flexibility, strength, range of motion and even height may make older drivers less comfortable and reduce their control behind the wheel. Checking to see that the driver and their vehicle fit well together can be as important to safety as a mechanical checkup. CarFit gives older adults tools to help them stay on the road safely.
Classroom Training: Monday, December 12, 1pm – 5pm
CarFit Event: Tuesday, December 13, 9am– 1pm
Glendale Adult Recreation Center
201 E. Colorado St.
Glendale, CA 91205
What is a Technician?
