SALT LAKE CITY — In pervious years, fatality rates for older Utah drivers have been trending downwards. But in 2025, there was a 50% increase, due in large part to motorcycle accidents. This uptick highlights the importance of a safety plan, especially for aging adults. “It’s time to start asking questions like, when is it time to get more support as they need to get around?” said Jason Mettmann, Utah Highway Safety. One way to support loved ones is to enroll them in the Yellow Dot Program.
