District Six Participates in National Crash Responder Safety Week 2025

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six TSM&O Office participated in the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Crash Responder Safety Week (CRSW) campaign held from November 17 through 21, 2025. The District developed a series of initiatives to raise public awareness and improve driver behavior around active work zones in the field.

 

FHWA sponsors the campaign every year to remind motorists that responder safety is everyone’s responsibility. It empowers state and district offices to highlight the brave men and women who work to keep our roadways safe every day. The goal is to humanize our field responders and put a face behind the uniform so that everyone can arrive home safely.

 

District Six launched a five-day social media campaign featuring short videos and testimonials from Road Rangers and Incident Response Vehicle Operators that followed  FHWA’s daily themes: Safety Starts with You, Driver Education, Responder Training, More than a Crash, and Slow Down, Move Over. In addition to its digital outreach, the District also shared public service announcements on dynamic message signs, published newsflash items on SunGuide.info, and participated in a community engagement event at the Florida’s Turnpike Service Plaza in Pompano, Florida.

 

CRSW supports the national mission to safeguard first responders in the field. Its framework and educational toolkit provide unified messaging, daily focus topics, and practical resources that help transportation partners deliver a consistent and impactful safety message. District Six remains committed to advancing this effort and promoting responder safety. For more information, visit the official CRSW page.
