摘要

This paper explores the effect of transportation factors on older peoples' (65 years and older)quality of life. The data is drawn from a national telephone survey done by the AmericanAssociation of Retired Persons (AARP). Exploratory Factor Analysis is used to develop a qualityof life index based on five survey questions. Linear regression is used to explore the quality oflife index's correlation to transportation as well as various personal, household, and communitycharacteristics.The results show that those with low socio-economic status and a limited social networkare linked with lower quality of life. Also, various transportation factors are found to besignificant. Lack of transportation in general and especially not driving, are found to besignificant factors negatively associated with quality of life. A built environment, which facilitieswalking, is found to be positively associated. This study finds that accessibility to alternativetransportation is positively associated with older people's quality of life. Specifically,information about transportation options and transportation alternatives for those with disabilitiesand health problems are found to be significant for older people's quality of life. This indicatesthat development of transportation alternatives, along with improved accessibility and visibility,is critical for older people's quality of life in an aging society.
