CarFit is a free, fun event designed to improve safety and comfort for older drivers. Trained volunteers walk through a 12-point checklist with drivers to ensure their vehicle's adjustable safety features, such as mirrors, seatbelts, lights, and air bag placement, are the safest "fit" for the driver. Drivers leave their 20-minute appointment with recommended adjustments and adaptations, a list of local resources, and greater peace of mind.
This event will take place Wednesday, June 27th, 10:00am-2:00pm in SW Minneapolis at Justice Page Middle School (1 W 49th St., Minneapolis).
