Older Driver Safety Week: Keys to Safe Driving

“Keys to Safe Driving” is a series of five free programs sponsored by Westchester County’s Department of Seniors Programs and Services (DSPS) during Older Drivers Safety Week from December 1st - 5th, 2025.

The programs are presented by DSPS’ Older Driver Coalition, and offer tools, tips and techniques that older drivers can use to be on the road as safely as possible for as long as possible. The program will also explore when it is time to stop driving and what alternative transportation services are available when seniors decide to relinquish their keys.

Each session will cover similar material. Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is preferred. To sign up, telephone the director at each of the sites. SMART Commute staff from Westchester County’s Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT) will be at each session to help seniors interested in signing up for the MTA Reduced-Fare MetroCard.
