FDOT Launches "Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow" Safety Campaign in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is gearing up to increase public safety awareness with its "Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow" campaign set to sweep through Miami-Dade and Monroe counties this summer. According to the FDOT's recent announcement, the campaign, starting in July and running until September, focuses on educating communities about pedestrian and cyclist safety, with the aim to foster a culture of safety on the roads.

Ahead of the official rollout, FDOT is ready to host a Virtual Partner Kick-Off Meeting on July 16, at 10 a.m. During the online event, FDOT project staff will lay down the campaign's goals and objectives for partners to effectively spread the safety message. Interested individuals can join to actively participate in the campaign by clicking on the provided link. The collaborators' involvement is deemed critical to ensure that communication channels to the broader community remain open and effective.

As part of the "Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow" initiative, representatives plan to directly engage with residents by appearing at community fairs, sporting events, visiting local businesses, and conducting educational presentations in schools. The campaign is meticulously designed to promote safety through various forms of outreach, including media advertisements and door-to-door business visits. Shieda Castillo, a Community Safety Traffic Specialist, has been cited as the contact person for those seeking more information about the initiative, which can be attained via email or by phone, as detailed by the official announcement.

FDOT is clear on its position to welcome public participation from all sections of the community, ensuring equal opportunity irrespective of individual backgrounds. For those requiring special assistance or language translation services, FDOT has provided the contact details of Mark Plass, the District Six Title VI Coordinator.
