Transportation Domain, Goal, Objectives, Strategies, Indicators <br /> 2. Index of Implementation Agencies <br /> <br />The 2017-22 Master Aging Plan (MAP) was approved by the MAP Steering Committee <br />on April 12, and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on May 16. <br />The MAP is the fourth cycle of strategic planning for the Orange County Department of <br />Aging (ODDOA). However, this is the first MAP based on the World Health <br />Organization/American Association of Retired Persons Framework for an Age-Friendly <br />Community (AFC). This framework was chose after deciding to be the first NC county <br />to work toward becoming an age-friendly community. The AFC framework contained <br />eight domains of livability that influence the quality of life for older adults: outdoor <br />spaces and buildings, transportation, housing, social participation, respect and social <br />inclusion, civic participation and employment, communication and information and <br />health services. The goals included in the MAP are intended to make Orange County <br />an age-friendly community, a place where structures and services are adapted to be <br />accessible to and inclusive of older adults with varying needs and capacities. <br /> <br />The focus of this update is on the transportation domain, goal, objectives, strategies and <br />indicators of success in addressing the elements of this domain. These are provided in <br />Attachment 1. <br /> <br />A Transportation Work Group was one of the work groups that met over a five-meeting <br />sequence from January to March 2017. The final output from the work group was a <br />concise list of objectives and strategies associated with the domain goal.
