the CTST Coalition came to fruition during the latter part of 1994, when
approximately 15 Teams were functioning independently in the State. As
the number of CTSTs began to grow, and various safety activities and events
were being conducted, the Chairmen acknowledged a need of some forum
in which to coordinate efforts, to learn from one another, to share
successful program ideas and reduce duplication among the Teams. The
idea of forming a Coalition of all Community Traffic Safety Teams
was discussed informally, and a date was set for the initial meeting
of CTST Chairmen. On April 4, 1995, the inaugural meeting was
held, with the first election of officers. In the years since their first
meeting in 1995, the Coalition and Community Traffic Safety Teams have grown
significantly with a presence in 63 of the 67 counties in Florida. The teams
have matured in their ability to effect positive outcomes by initiating
Statewide safety campaigns through the Coalition. 
Probably the greatest accomplishment of the Community Traffic Safety Team Coalition has been the ability to bring together such a diverse group of local community safety partners to facilitate the sharing of safety programs, ideas and materials to a statewide audience through the individual Community Traffic Safety Teams in Florida. On average, each CTST has about 15-20 regular members who represent their own agency from either an enforcement, engineering, education or emergency medical services discipline. With the combined statewide resources of over 800 volunteers working together as a united front on comprehensive traffic safety issues, the CTST Coalition has helped to put names with faces, opened up new avenues of communication throughout the State, and has fostered a feeling of cooperation that did not exist prior to the Coalition's establishment. It is this broad-based partnership of CTST members across the State that has made the CTST Coalition such a valuable representative on Florida's Safety Management System Steering Committee. The continued growth and attendance at Coalition meetings is indicative of the importance the CTSTs give to traffic safety in Florida, and the trust they place in the Coalition to speak for those volunteers who are actively working toward safer communities.
