Florida Department Of TransportationThe Florida Department of Transportation, or FDOT, is a decentralized agency charged with the establishment, maintenance, and regulation of public transportation in the state of Floridahttp://www.flsenate.gov/Statutes/. Achievements In 1974, FDOT completed the Florida Turnpike, a 450-mile system of limited access toll highways. The turnpike is part of an initiative to finance transportation with user feeshttp://www.dot.state.fl.us/turnpikepio/NewWebPages/about.html. In 2004, FDOT reopened the I-10 Escambia bridge 17 days after Hurricane Ivan ripped it apart http://www.dot.state.fl.us/viewpoint/viewpointseptemberoct04.pdf. Structure Each of FDOT's seven semi-autonomous districts is managed by a District Secretary. The FDOT Secretary is responsible for coordinating the Department as a whole. The Florida Transportation Commission, made up of nine commissioners chosen by Florida's Governor and Legislature, provides oversight for FDOThttp://www.ftc.state.fl.us/about_the_commission.htm. On March 5, 2003, Governor Jeb Bush appointed Jos Abreu, P.E., as Secretary of FDOThttp://www.dot.state.fl.us/publicinformationoffice/moreDOT/mission.htm. References Transportation
