FDOT District Six Appoints New FMS/AMS Specialist
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) Office is happy to announce the appointment of Jeffery Flowers to the position of FMS/AMS Specialist III in the Arterials Section.
Mr. Flowers brings more than 20 years of traffic management experience to District Six. He began his career as a consultant to FDOT in 2005. He started as a traffic operator at the SunGuide Transportation Management Center (TMC) managing freeway operations, dispatching incident responders, and providing real-time traveler information to the motoring public of Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. He became a valued member of the team as the TSM&O Program expanded to new levels throughout the years. His knowledge and dedication allowed him to advance to several key positions, including 95 Express Operator, 95 Express Supervisor, and other leadership roles.
In 2014, he joined the PortMiami Tunnel, where he managed daily traffic operations for the critical transportation corridor connecting PortMiami with downtown Miami. The facility serves thousands of cruise passengers, freight vehicles, and commuters each day. He later joined Miami-Dade County as a consultant, where he contributed to several transportation initiatives, including the South Dade TransitWay Corridor that is part of the SMART Program’s Bus Rapid Transit Service, which opened in 2025.
In his new role at FDOT, Mr. Flowers is supporting the Arterials Section and overseeing traffic operations for the Keys Connecting Overseas to Advance Safe Travel (Keys COAST) and the Monroe County Traffic Signal System Operations and Maintenance projects in the Florida Keys.
Mr. Flowers is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology at Florida International University to expand his knowledge and technical expertise. He is excited to bring his extensive experience to the team where he began his traffic management career. The District Six TSM&O Office is pleased to welcome Mr. Flowers and looks forward to his contributions to the program.
