Katherine discusses increasing transportation options by enacting policies that remove barriers or create incentives for the use of private resources to help older people have adequate, dignified mobility and allow them to age in place.
Also included as a "change agent" is Charles Feeney, founding chairman of Atlantic Philanthropies, which has been instrumental in funding the national rollout of ITNAmerica.
