Action Plan Download

An action plan is based on the results of community surveys identifying needs within the 8 Domains of Livability that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. While there is flexibility in how a plan is created and what it will do, every action plan includes a statement about what can be achieved, target dates for goal completion, identification of participating organizations and indicators to measure progress. The action plan is an "active" rather than static document. Revisions and amendments are a sign of program improvement and progress.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Outdoor Spaces

    Develop connected and walkable trails with new public restrooms and accessibility options.

  2. Transportation

    Provide interconnected, long-distance regional transportation options.

  3. Housing

    Facilitate aging in place by providing options for home repair, increasing the number of subsidized housing units, and promoting the development of new, moderate-income units.

Cycle Kettering Chapter of Bike Miami Valley (2025)

Kettering, OH

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2025

Project Category: Bike Audits

Description: In several busy parts of Kettering, older adults and people with disabilities faced barriers when biking to everyday destinations such as community centers and parks. Without direct input from residents, these issues were easy to overlook in planning. Cycle Kettering addressed this by organizing four community bike audits that brought together residents, elected officials and city staff to examine routes on the ground. Participants used a city-developed app to document conditions with notes, photos and mapped locations, creating a detailed record of problem areas. Input from older adults and riders with disabilities shaped the findings. One participant living with a neuromuscular disorder highlighted access issues others might miss. The audits produced practical data that planners and engineers can reference as they consider future biking and walking improvements.
