Without adequate and accessible public transportation including specialized transportation systems for older people some individuals who would otherwise not drive may have no other choice. AARP supports the creation of needed local public transportation systems and will help publicize their availability through local AARP chapters and RI'A units, and through older resources.

In heavier rain, the system, aptly called Rainsense, automatically turns the wipers to Low, then High speed. The wipers stop when the precipitation stops. At the heart of the Rainsense system, which is standard equipment on the 1996 Cadillac DeVille Concours, Seville Touring Sedan and Eldorado Touring Coupe, is a small module mounted on the inside of the windshield. If the windshield is dry, beams from a row of LEDs in the module reflect off the back side of the outer surface of the glass, into a matching row of eight detectors on the other side of the module. However, if there is moisture on the glass, the surface doesnt reflect the beams accurately, and the module senses that it is raining or snowing outside. Detecting moisture on the windshield is one thing. Measuring this moisture precisely enough to adjust the wiper operation is another. The Rainsense module does this by using two separate inputs. It measures how long it takes for moisture to reappear after each pass of the wipers. It also counts how many beams are scattered at any given The system uses a small module behind the inside rearview mirror to detect moisture on the glass and adjust the wipers accordingly. moment. Using these two inputs, the module can calculate just how fast the rain or snow is falling, and adjust wiper operation accordingly. Interestingly, customer research shows that drivers use their wipers differently. Some turn them on at MIC 'CAUBtOMJOrd wiper control. The control also retains manual settings for Low and High speed, as well as an Off setting which turns off Rainsense and parks the wipers below the hoodline. The sight of the wipers at the lower edge of the windshield reminds the driver to switch off the system before entering a carwash.
