CarFit is a FREE, interactive and educational program that teaches participants how to make their personal vehicle “fit” them to increase safety and mobility when they hit the road.

• Review 12 key areas of your fit to your car such as adequate space from the steering wheel, proper seat belt use, and properly adjusted head restraints.
• Learn how to use and adjust your safety devices.
• Each checkup takes about 20 minutes — this is not a driving test or mechanical inspection.
