The overhaul of several public transit stops in Greater St. Louis — partially funded by AARP — has helped leverage millions of additional investment dollars in everything from new and renovated buildings to sidewalks and landscaping.
The Boomers and Bikes program is one of a variety of activities AARP is offering this year to help older Missourians focus on their health and well-being as well as guided hikes, walking programs and online fitness classes.

For the first time since AARP began publishing the Scorecard in 2011, more than half of Medicaid long-term care dollars nationwide for older adults and people with physical disabilities went to home- and community-based services instead of nursing homes and other institutions.
In June, AARP awarded a total of $52,500 to three nonprofits and a government entity in Missouri, as a part of the 2023 Community Challenge grants. The program funds quick-action projects to help make communities more livable for people of all ages. This year's winners are dedicated to improving the walkability of neighborhoods, expanding community gardens, enhancing transportation and building more accessory dwelling units.
