Grant Overview
Indiana reports 16% of residents aged 65 and older, the sixth-highest proportion nationally. Gerontology undergraduates targeting transportation gaps must account for 27 rural counties where public transit operates fewer than three days per week. These counties contain 31% of the state's elderly population yet hold only 9% of licensed drivers over age 75.
Students at Ball State and Indiana State University document that 42% of surveyed seniors in Delaware and Vigo counties miss medical appointments due to lack of rides. Existing volunteer driver programs cover less than 15% of demand, with wait times averaging 11 days.
The grant equips students to design routing algorithms and vehicle scheduling tools that match existing council on aging fleets to appointment density. Recipients document mileage reimbursement structures tied to Indiana's Medicaid non-emergency transportation rates of $0.22 per mile.
Indiana's flat terrain and grid county road system differ from Ohio's topography, requiring transport models calibrated to winter weather closures that affect 60+ days annually. Proposals must cite specific Indiana Department of Transportation district data.
