Every second counts: HOW JOINED-UP THINKING IS DELIVERING FASTER INCIDENT RESPONSE TIMES

摘要

Law enforcement officials and traffic systems managers are working together on Florida's Turnpike to create a safer and more efficient network. The Florida Turnpike Enterprise is recognized as an experimental mode for the state of Florida, in that it has a specific mandate to employ the best practices of the private sector as it carries out its duties as protector of the public trust. So, operating as a separate business unit within the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Florida's Turnpike has expanded and increased revenue, while continuing to protect bondholdersand improving service across the board. Performance metrics are regularly tracked and attest to improved levels of Safety, travel efficiencies and more cost-effective and timely project deliveries.
