CarFIT Clinic

PennDOT is encouraging senior motorists to attend a CarFit clinic Tuesday, May 22 at the Monroeville Senior Center, 6000 Gateway Campus Boulevard, Monroeville, to ensure that they are driving safely for life.

The clinic, which will run from 9 a.m. through noon, is sponsored by AAA and the University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Physical Therapy.

Drivers who attend the clinic will learn if they “fit” in their cars well. Trained installers and University of Pittsburgh occupational therapy students will be on-hand to ensure the seniors are traveling comfortably and safely.
