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. Members include local city, county, state, and occasionally federal agencies, as well as private industry representatives and local citizens. The community boundaries are determined by the individuals comprising the team, and can be a city, an entire county, a portion of a county, multiple counties, or any other jurisdictional arrangement.
Multi-jurisdictional means several agencies (cities, county, and state) plus other groups and organizations working together toward a common goal of improving traffic safety in their community. Multi-disciplinary means integrating the efforts of the 4 "E" disciplines that work in highway safety, including Engineering, Enforcement, Education / public information, and Emergency services. By working together with interested citizens and other traffic safety advocates within their communities, the CTSTs help to solve local traffic safety problems related to the driver, the vehicle, and the roadway.
One common goal of each Community Traffic Safety Team is to reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes within their community.
On Saturday, February 4, 2012, from 11AM-4PM, (Home Depot Parking Lot/University Parkway) the Manatee and Sarasota CTST’s will be holding the fifth annual Traffic Safety Expo. Our goal is to bring many elements of traffic safety together and present these to the public in an Expo type function. The cost to the public is free, we will have food & drinks and raffle items. In addition, we will have the Florida Department of Transportation on site, along with Manatee County, Sarasota County, the MPO, FHP, Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, Manatee Fire Depts, Florida Safety Council, 811, 511, School bus safety, child passenger safety, bicycle helmet fittings, CarFit, a bike rodeo and many, many more booths. We anticipate over 1,000+ attendees.
