The Florida Department of Transportation District Four, Office of Modal Development is identifying potential projects and maintenance efforts that impact freight mobility and safety.

To collect thoughts more easily, a Freight Roadway Issues survey has been created that will provide an opportunity for truckers to identify what routes experience consistent concerns and identify where we can make the roads safer and easier to navigate. The survey can be accessed via desktop computer or smartphone. I am hoping you will take this survey as well as share this link with any trucker distribution groups you may have and/or any others who are knowledgeable about freight roadway issues within FDOT D4 (Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River Counties).

Survey Link is here: District 4 Freight Roadway Issues (arcgis.com)

Requesting that surveys be completed by Tuesday, June 21, 2022.

The OMD Office will then synthesize this information to assess potential opportunities to program resources to address any deficiencies (operational, geometric, etc.).

If there are any questions about this effort or issues accessing the Survey, please contact:

-Daniel Ochoa, FDOT D4 Freight Coordinator [email protected]

Hurricane season starts June 1, and many of our Palm Beach County neighbors are making sure they are prepared. As you update hurricane supplies, keep in mind that some items should not be placed in the garbage, but instead, be brought to one of the SWA’s Home Chemical and Recycling Centers.

Supplies requiring special disposal include:

-gasoline and oil from generators

-propane tanks

-rechargeable batteries from electronics or flashlights

These items (and other home hazards) can be dropped off for free by Palm Beach County residents at any of the Home Chemical and Recycling Centers listed below, where they will be recycled or disposed of properly.
