Notice of Meeting/Workshop Hearing

Department:	DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION


Overview



	The Florida Department of Transportation, District One announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	5/18/2023 8:30am-4:00pm

PLACE:	FDOT District One Conference Center 801 N Broadway Ave, Bartow, FL 33830

Subject:	District One’s Planning Studio will be hosting a workshop focusing on safe speeds and the counter measures than can be used to address the speeding challenges that face us today. District One is committed to working with its communities on reducing and managing speeds to increase safety and measurably reduce crash rates and crash severity, while simultaneously advancing the Department’s policies of complete streets and context-sensitive design. Safe speeds are one of the 5 elements in the safe systems approach that is being used as we work toward driving down fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways. In addition to safety, projects need to advance the FDOT’s policies for raising the quality of life for people living and visiting Florida and promote economic well-being. To achieve quality of life and attract people and business, the “path” (e.g., street, road, corridor, boulevard…) needs to contribute to its “place.” The ways in which the Department considers and creates the spaces, through which people move, has the power to deeply improve the human experience (e.g., quality of life), influence how they behave (e.g., speed management), and affect their decisions (e.g., economic development, development patterns, modal choices, etc.) To invest in community infrastructure, the right people have to be involved in the conversation. Community leaders, such as yourself, have the last say in how communities are built, what network is planned to move people, and how the land uses play a role in the comfort of people navigating to their destinations. The meeting will have a presentation and participatory exercises from 8:30am-4:00pm. The Florida Department of Transportation may adopt this planning product into the environmental review process, pursuant to Title 23 U.S.C. § 168(d)(4), or to the state project development process.
