Highway Safety Grant Program
- The Highway Safety Grant Section administers various traffic
safety behavioral (non-construction) grant programs, primarily the State and Community
Highway Safety (Section 402) Grant Program.
This
federally-funded program is authorized nationally under Section 402, Title 23 U.S.C., and
in Florida by Section 334.044(25) Florida Statutes, and Rule 14-98
Florida Administrative Code. In addition to
Section 402 funding,
Section 157, 163, 405, 410, and 411 grants are administered through the
Highway Safety Grant section. Grant funds are provided to
state and local safety-related agencies (law enforcement, public health,
engineering, etc.) as ?seed? money to either start-up new safety programs or
enhance existing ones in various traffic safety areas.
-
Industrial Safety Program
- Industrial (worker) Safety is the development of safety and
health procedures and safe work practices designed to enhance the working environment of all
FDOT employees, control unsafe acts and unsafe conditions, and
reduce or eliminate the occurrence
of work-related accidents, and minimize employee injuries.

-
Transportation Safety Engineering Program
- Transportation Safety Engineering involves the engineering
features that prevent drivers from conflicting on the roadway, reduce roadway problems
that lead to traffic crashes, and give clear information to assist drivers to make safe
driving decisions.
-
Pedestrian and Bicycle Program
- The Florida Pedestrian and Bicycle Program works in many
areas to promote safe walking and bicycling in Florida. The program develops initiatives
and programs to improve the environment for safe, comfortable, and convenient walking and
bicycling trips and to improve the performance and interaction among motorists,
bicyclists, and pedestrians.

-
Community Traffic Safety Teams
- Florida's Community Traffic Safety Teams (CTSTs) are locally based groups of highway
safety advocates who are committed to solving traffic safety problems through a
comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary approach. The CTSTs address traffic safety on
local streets and roadways (non state
roads). The Department
actively supports the CTSTs, with
each District having a CTST Coordinator who works closely with the Teams in their
geographic area.
