  • Abstract:
    The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is committed to providing a safe transportation system that ensures the mobility of people and goods. Florida has a unique transportation context for addressing safety and mobility. The State’s population increased by more than 32 percent from 2000 to 2019 and saw a significant growth in visitors or tourists unfamiliar with the transportation system during that same period. The population of adults over 65 is expected to grow by 61 percent by 2045, leading to an increase in specialized mobility needs. FDOT views safety and mobility as two sides of the same coin rather than two independent programs. The agency demonstrates strong coordination between safety and operations in several areas, including data, analysis, and highway needs and priorities. FDOT evaluates its transportation system to identify actions that can both enhance safety and improve mobility, such as diverting traffic during a crash or moving traffic more efficiently through intersections while protecting vulnerable users. Through joining transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) and safety, FDOT’s Traffic Engineering and Operations Office has new ways to identify problematic locations. Once highway problem locations are identified, FDOT draws upon a holistic suite of strategies to address safety and operational issues, including coordinating with the MetroPlan Orlando, Central Florida’s metropolitan planning organization, which incorporates a TSMO advisory committee and has a strong focus on improving safety while improving mobility for pedestrians and other vulnerable users.
