It absorbed the powers of the State Road Department (SRD). The current Secretary of Transportation is Interim Secretary Erik R. Fenniman.[2] HistoryThe State Road Department, predecessor of today's Department of Transportation, was authorized in 1915 by the Florida legislature. For the first two years of its existence, the department acted as an advisory body to the 52 counties in the state, helping to assemble maps and other information on roads. The 1916 Bankhead Act passed by Congress expanded the department's responsibilities and gave it the authority to: establish a state and state-aid system of roads; engage in road construction and maintenance; acquire and own land; exercise the right of eminent domain; and accept federal or local funds for use in improving roads. The Office of Motor Carrier Compliance transitioned from the Florida Department of Transportation to the Florida Highway Patrol division of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles on July 1, 2011.[3] The consolidation is a result of Senate Bill 2160, passed by lawmakers during the 2011 Legislative Session, and placed the commercial vehicle licensing, registrations, fuel permits, and enforcement all under the purview of DHSMV.[4] StructureThe Florida Transportation Commission, made up of nine commissioners chosen by Florida's Governor and Legislature, provides oversight for FDOT.[5] Each of FDOT's eight semi-autonomous districts is managed by a District Secretary. Following the 2002 legislation, the Turnpike District (now known as Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, or FTE) secretary became known as an executive director. There are seven geographic districts plus the FTE.[6] The FTE owns and maintains {{convert|460|mi}} of toll roads. The Department also owns other toll roads and bridges: the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Alligator Alley, the Beachline East Expressway, the Pinellas Bayway System, and the Seminole and Lake County portions of otherwise Central Florida Expressway Authority owned roads. Tolls on all Department-owned facilities are collected by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise. In addition, the FDOT operates and manages several park and ride lots and Commuter Assistance Programs throughout the state. Most of the 7 geographic districts have a Districtwide Commuter Assistance Program. On March 5, 2003, Governor Jeb Bush appointed José Abreu, P.E., as Secretary of Transportation.[6] On June 27, 2005, Governor Jeb Bush appointed Denver Stutler, Jr., as Secretary of Transportation.[6] Previously, Stutler was Bush's chief of staff. On January 2, 2007, Governor Charlie Crist appointed Stephanie Kopelousos as Interim Secretary of Transportation; she was confirmed as Secretary on April 2, 2007.[6] Previously, Kopelousos served as FDOT's Federal Programs Coordinator. On April 18, 2011, Governor Rick Scott appointed Ananth Prasad as Secretary of Transportation.[7] On December 19, 2014, Governor Rick Scott appointed Jim Boxold as Secretary of Transportation.[8] On June 5, 2017, Governor Rick Scott appointed Mike Dew as Secretary of Transportation.[9] DistrictsFlorida has seven transportation districts:[10]
Notable projectsIn 1954, the State Road Department completed the original Sunshine Skyway Bridge, the first fixed span to connect Saint Petersburg directly to Bradenton. This greatly shortened the travel time between the two cities, as before cars would have to either use a ferry or drive about {{convert|100|mi}} around Tampa Bay. A parallel span was completed in 1971 to make the bridge Interstate standard, and it became part of I-275. After the newer, southbound span was destroyed in 1980 when the SS Summit Venture collided into it, a replacement bridge was finished in 1987. In 1974, FDOT completed Florida's Turnpike, a {{convert|312|mi|adj=on}} limited access toll highway that connected the panhandle area through Orlando to Miami. The turnpike is part of an initiative to finance transportation with user fees.[18] See also
