Bayne was recognized with co-researchers Alexa Siegfried (NORC), Katherine Freund (ITNAmerica), and Laurie Beck (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) for their paper, “Environmental Scan of Ride Share Services Available for Older Adults.” The award winning team identified nearly 1,000 nonprofit and for-profit ride share services for older adults in the U.S. and assessed their characteristics.
