FDOT District delivers real-time traveler information to drivers across Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Our service equips motorists with accurate traffic alerts and roadway updates so they can make informed trip planning decisions and enhance traveler safety on South Florida’s roadways.
At the SunGuide Transportation Management Center (STMC), traffic operators collect continuous roadway data from sensors, partner agencies, and field personnel. This data powers multiple traveler information tools — including the 511 Traveler Information System, dynamic message signs (DMS), and targeted social media updates — that keep the public informed about current traffic conditions, travel times, construction events, and incidents in real time.
