Public Works received $1.8 million in grant funding through the Florida Department of Transportation to be used toward the implementation of the State Road 60 Smart Corridor Project. The project involves the installation of connected vehicle devices along the SR60 Corridor (Gulf to Bay Blvd) to enhance regional mobility and safety, reduce the number and severity of traffic crashes, reduce congestion, and increase in driver, passenger, and pedestrian safety.
Funding was received as part of FDOT's TAPS LA CAV - Technology Application Partnerships with Local Agencies for Deploying Connected and Automated Vehicle Technologies. The funding agreement originally expired December 31, 2023, but was renewed twice by FDOT and Pinellas County until December 31, 2024. FDOT has authorized Pinellas County to use the remaining grant funds left over after the completion of the original scope to purchase additional connected vehicle equipment.
