What Is AARP Indiana’s Role?

AARP Indiana was selected by the City-County Council to serve on the Vision Zero Task Force to voice the interests of Hoosiers 50-plus and is represented by Director of Community Engagement, Addison Pollock. In this role, he attends public committee meetings where he relays the interests and concerns of the 50-plus from across the city. Addison works closely with the AARP Indiana volunteer team in Indianapolis which provides him with insights into the needs of this unique population.

Addison joins other Task Force members including representatives from the City-County Council, Indianapolis-Marion County Police Department, Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, Indianapolis Public Schools, Health by Design, various city departments, the recreational bicycle community, and more. The main scope of work being done includes developing a plan with data-driven strategies to improve road safety.
