Share the Road is the cornerstone of Florida Trucking Association’s public awareness program. Florida’s Road Team serve as FTA’s ambassadors for the Share the Road program.
​
Since its inception in 1996, approximately 150,000 students across the state have been educated by the Florida Road Team on safe driving techniques and how to safely share the road with trucks.
​
The interactive, multi-media presentation is used to both educate and motivate passenger car drivers to leave room for big trucks on the roadways. In recent years, the message has been widened to include “NoText + Drive” messages and information about Florida’s “Move Over” law.
​
These free presentations are usually delivered to Drivers Education and P.E. classes at Florida high schools (90% of the year’s events), but presentations are also made to trucking companies, professional groups, church groups, “Touch-a-Truck” events, press conferences and association events statewide.
