Obtaining Crash Data
Dear FDOT Consultants working in D7: New requirements from
FDOT........
Secretary Kopelousos has signed a Directive regarding the Release of
Crash Data. The Directive has been published.
The Directive has been written in accordance with federal law. It is the
policy of the Florida Department of Transportation not to make crash
data available to any member of the public. Exceptions to this policy
are requests from members of the media and requests from governmental
entities.
Based on the discussion in the statewide safety meeting in Tampa this
week, the only way FDOT Districts can release FDOT crash data to
engineering consultants is by request from FDOT project managers for the
FM projects engineering consultants are working on.
Sincerely,
Peter Hsu, P.E.
District Safety Programs Engineer

Asphalt Survey Request
There is no need to fill out the Asphalt Survey Request form for future projects contrary to
what Terry Puckett told us. Mary Sheets keeps an updated log of
priority projects which she sends to the bituminous engineers
periodically. If it is an emergency project, Mary has instructed us to
contact her with the request and she will contact Conrad and Marlene
directly. ALL requests must go through Mary.
LBR (Limerock Bearing Ratio)
Great news the District One and Seven District Materials Geotechnical
Web site now has Historical Design
LBR's on their web page. These are
LBR's that have been taken for both District One and Seven. This is just
a guide line to see what the LBR's in the area are.
This does not eliminate the need for LBR sampling/determination on a
project by project basis, but can be useful for approximation.
