Program Description
This webinar presents information about the Maine Mature Drivers Project (MMDP). It explores how aging-related changes in health and function can impact driving safety. Additionally, the webinar explains how the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) addresses medical fitness to drive. Finally, it provides guidance on how older drivers can self-regulate to stay safe or transition smoothly into driving retirement.
Presenter
Tom Meuser, PhD – Tom is a clinical psychologist, applied gerontologist, and social scientist based in Portland, Maine. He moved here in 2018 from Missouri to serve as the Founding Director for the University of New England Center for Excellence in Aging & Health. He retired from this role in 2024 and is now self-employed as a geriatric neuropsychologist (https://geropsychmaine.com/) and a researcher-educator for both the Maine Bureaus of Motor Vehicles and Highway Safety. Tom led the team which developed Missouri’s approach to the medical evaluation of at-risk drivers in 2009. He was also the program evaluator for the AMA’s Older Drivers Project (which continues now through AGS). His 2025-2026 speaking tour in Maine focuses on informing and empowering older adults, as well as the clinical providers who serve them, to make reasoned decisions on driving mobility. Maine’s regulations are an important focus too. He can be reached at tom.meuser@maine.gov.
