In 2025, the number will be almost double, 1.2 billion people will be over 60 years old. There will be 2 billion people over 60 years old in the world in 2005. 2nd trend , over half of the global population lives in cities in 2007.Both trends are occurring at a faster rate in developing countries. An age-friendly city is tolerate older people,older people can barrier-free activities and encourages older people active ageing of the city. In practical terms, an age-friendly city adapts its structures and services to be accessible to and inclusive of older people with varying needs and capacities. This research uses literature review, the use of WHO Global Age-friendly Cities: A Guide, 15 indicators of transport, as this study was to assess the basis of indicators. Recalling the relevant literature, to the age-friendly as the core, the development of 3 local indicators, from public transport, walking and driving in three dimensions,the establishment of belonging to the assessment of Taiwan city age-friendly transportation analysis. This research takes Taipei city for example, discuss the Taipei City transportation system for older people feeling in system usage, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the Taipei City older people transportation demand. Using questionnaire to collect data, build databases, the use rough sets theory and multivariate analysis and TOPSIS to analysis the database.And to make older people of transport systems in decision rules and older people of the ranking of priority transport policy, analysis of older people on the universal design of transportation environment.
