Traffic Safety Coalitions
Florida shares the national traffic safety vision, "Toward Zero Deaths," and formally adopted our own version of the national vision, "Driving Down Fatalities," in 2012. The Strategic Highway Safety Plan (updated in 2021) is the statewide plan
focusing on how to accomplish the vision of eliminating fatalities and reducing serious injuries on all public roads.
Safety Coalitions
Below, you will find Florida Traffic Safety Coalitions. These coalitions bring multiple traffic safety partners together to make Florida's roadways efficient and safe.
Traffic Records Coordinating Committee
Using data to support roadway safety decisions places the emphasis of safety programs on saving lives and preventing injuries. That is why Florida’s Traffic Records Coordinating Committee provides a statewide forum to facilitate the planning, coordination, selecting, and implementation of projects to improve the State’s traffic records system. The Committee is dedicated to maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of traffic records data resources, collection, analysis, and reporting.
Florida Impaired Driving Coalition
