FLORIDA 2020 FATALITY REPORT*

Florida Traffic Safety Dashboard
The new Florida Traffic Safety Dashboard is
public-facing and does not require system
access or a password. It is designed to
provide a high-level, visual overview of the
current crash trends in relation to Florida’s
Strategic Highway Safety Plan emphasis
areas as we work to drive down roadway
fatalities and serious injuries. The
dashboard allows users to filter data by year,
law enforcement agency, traffic safety focus
area, fatality/injury severity, and location
which includes state, DOT district,
MPO/TPO, and county.

Traffic safety partners working with or for a public agency in need of analyzing additional, more detailed data should utilize the full Signal Four Analytics system to further filter
crash and citation data elements to create maps and statistical reports. The updated system still requires approved system access but is now accessible through any web
browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Existing users can utilize their current credentials. They can access the system by clicking on the person icon on the top
right-hand side of the Traffic Safety Dashboard screen to experience a new updated look with a more user-friendly interface. The menu to access all the functions offered at
this time is located on the top left-hand side of the Signal Four Analytics logo at the top horizontal bar.

Note that this first version of the Event Analysis does not yet include all the features of the current Internet Explorer version. The missing features will be added gradually in
the coming weeks. The Internet Explorer version will continue to be available for users that may need it until the full migration to the new version is completed.

Both the updated system and the new dashboard can be found at: www.signal4analytics.com * As of 12/30/2020
