The Get Moving report captures those connections: of an aging population, social isolation, and transportation deserts on the Sunshine Coast. It captures the community: from seniors in Egmont who have no transportation options; to older adults in Langdale who cannot safely cross the highway to catch the bus into Gibsons.
Get Moving is more than a policy report, it is a call to action and prioritizing for seniors transportation on the Sunshine Coast. The complexity of transportation challenges–particularly in rural settings like the Sunshine Coast– requires an examination of common service challenges and innovative projects for filling gaps and meeting needs in context-specific ways. The recommendations in this report offer real, local solutions for positive change on the Coast.
