FDOT Recognizes TSM&O Staff in Town Hall Meeting

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Six Secretary recognized Traffic Operator Ms. Breaun Webster during the District Six Town Hall Meeting on May 5, 2026, for her quick thinking in assisting law enforcement during an emergency on Interstate 95 in Miami-Dade County.

 

Ms. Webster worked with Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) communications dispatcher who was handling an emotionally distressed driver stopped on the shoulder of Interstate 95. She used FDOT’s closed-circuit television cameras to quickly locate and confirm the vehicle’s position. Her swift response enabled FHP to dispatch a trooper and coordinate with Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office to send a deputy to the scene. The agencies worked together to bring the individual to a stable condition.

 

Following the incident, FHP’s State Law Enforcement Dispatch Supervisor commended Ms. Webster’s performance. District Six Secretary Daniel Iglesias recognized Ms. Webster during the Town Hall Meeting in front of FDOT leadership and staff. Secretary Iglesias read FHP’s commendation aloud, expressed his gratitude for her efforts, and presented her with a Certificate of Recognition. Ms. Webster received a standing ovation from the audience for her outstanding service.

 

The incident highlights the vital role that strong communication and collaboration between FDOT, FHP, and Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office play in protecting the public and saving lives during emergencies.
