Because Florida's fatal crash rates and fatality rates consistently outrank national averages, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) contracted with the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida (USF) to help identify highway safety problem areas that may contribute to less safe travel on Florida roadways. This research was conducted as part of a larger pooled-fund study to determine why fatal crash rates are higher in the Southeastern United States (US) compared to rest of the nation and what could be done to reduce fatal crashes in the region. The research objective was to identify problem areas related to highway safety in which Florida is over-represented relative to other states and the nation as a whole. The research results provide policy makers and highway safety advocates with a better understanding of the factors that may contribute to higher fatality rates in Florida and may be used to help identify specific problem areas where the FDOT can focus safety improvement measures.
