The public is invited to join Manatee and Sarasota County and City Elected Officials, the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 1 to prioritize regional transportation safety needs for the MPO Destination Zero Action Plan. On September 27, 2021, from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM, the Destination Zero Workshop will be held at the Bradenton Area Convention Center, 1 Haben Boulevard, Palmetto. 

The Destination Zero Action Plan will serve as a roadmap leading the MPO towards its ultimate vision of zero fatalities and serious injuries on the transportation system. In addition, the MPO’s Destination Zero Action Plan will provide an educational framework for jurisdictions to catalyze the development of their own local Action Plans. David Hutchinson, MPO Executive Director, explains, “The simple act of going to the grocery store, running an errand, going to work, going to school, or visiting family and friends should not be a near-death experience.” For more details, visit the project page here. Space is limited, please make sure to reserve your seat here.
