SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA will host a meeting to focus on ways 
to improve the safety of older drivers over the next 5-10 years. The 
Traffic Safety for Older Road Users Meeting will begin with an 
introduction by NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind, followed by a 
discussion of the demographics of older road users, effective 
technologies to ensure safe driving for older people, and integrating 
information from law enforcement, licensing agencies, aging services 
providers and medical care providers. A panel discussion will then 
explore methods for identifying and serving at-risk drivers, leading to 
the identification of State and local alternatives. The meeting will 
conclude with a discussion on connected and automated vehicles--the 
future of mobility for an aging population.
    Invited participants will include representatives from a number of 
fields including the behavioral and engineering sciences, traffic and 
highway safety, and public health, as well as from diverse 
organizations including advocacy groups, industry, state government, 
and other Federal Agencies.
    NHTSA will facilitate sharing of important information regarding 
programs to improve the safety of older road users. Saving lives by 
preventing traffic deaths is a top priority of this Administration.
    Workshop Procedures. NHTSA will conduct the meeting informally. 
Thus, technical rules of evidence will not apply. The meeting will 
consist of presentations and panels. Each panel will have two or three 
short presentations, a roundtable discussion among the panel members, 
and participant questions to be discussed by the panel members and
