Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST)
The Florida Department of Transportation is well aware that building safe roads does not in itself solve the problem of traffic fatalities and injuries. With this in mind the Community Traffic Safety Program was developed.
The goal of the Community Traffic Safety Program is to reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes through a comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional, multi-disciplinary approach. This is accomplished through the 4-E approach. Law Enforcement, Emergency Services, Education, and Engineering.
An effective way for communities to accomplish this goal using these resources is through the development of (CTST) Community Traffic Safety Teams. The members of these teams should include individuals who share a true interest in addressing the traffic safety concerns of their community. The teams can be City wide, County wide, or even a local community that wants to address their specific traffic concerns.
