Uber is making it easier for older adults to take rides with the nationwide launch of senior accounts.

Why it matters: Nearly 1 in 6 people globally will be 60 or older by 2030, the World Health Organization estimates.

• Competitor Lyft launched its Lyft Silver feature nationwide for seniors in May.

The big picture: A 2020 study by researchers with the CDC and the University of Chicago found ride-hailing apps could benefit older people, especially those facing cognitive decline that makes driving less safe.

The intrigue: Uber's new features also help seniors' family members keep track of their loved ones and book rides for them more easily.
