The Department of Transportation has
identified "Safety" as the single most recurring, underlying
theme throughout its programs. Given the State of Florida's high
national rankings of fatalities and fatal crashes among the
various sub-groups (pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicycles, etc.),
the Transportation Commission determined that a separate Annual
Safety Report, with performance measures, objectives and
indicators, was warranted.
With the Annual Safety Report the Commission is elevating the
visibility of highway safety statistics, which it hopes will
serve as a catalyst for action by the Department and its highway
safety partners in reducing, where possible, the incidence of
highway fatalities and fatal crashes. This endeavor was begun in
2006 with the issuance of the first Annual Highway Safety
Report.
