Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent, nonprofit, scientific, and educational organization dedicated to reducing the losses – deaths, injuries, and property damage – from crashes on the nation's highways. The Hartford became a member and has remained actively involved with IIHS since 1979. The Hartford also helped to build the Vehicle Research Center in 1991. Most recently, The Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence has been collaborating with IIHS on older driver safety.
American Occupational Therapy Association
The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) advances the quality, availability, use and support of occupational therapy through standard-setting, advocacy, education and research on behalf of its members and the public. Occupational therapists trained in driver rehabilitation provide a key component to the evaluation of older driver safety and rehabilitation. In 2008 AOTA began collaborating with The Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence and MIT AgeLab to conduct a two-year research project on comprehensive driving evaluations. The study sought to explore the role of driver rehab and to understand the perspective and benefits for individuals who have experienced it.
