Not being able to drive in this state can be isolating — especially for older Vermonters navigating the challenges of aging.   Ninety-two-year-old Gerry Quinlan has found a way, with a network of friends that can drive her to their weekly coffee dates in Essex. But she’s wondering how others do it, so she came to us with this question: "How do you maintain a social life in Vermont once you can no longer drive?" Join us as we ride along with Gerry and others who have given up their keys, but not their communities and friendships.
