Recipes for the Road

The Florida Department of Transportation District Two’s Community Traffic Safety Program is excited to present our 29th Annual Recipes for the Road. For almost three decades, we have worked to make a positive impact and help keep people safe on our roads during the holidays.

This program focuses on education and outreach strategies to create safer communities. It works with local partners, including law enforcement, team members, restaurants, and bars, to promote responsible alcohol service and personal use at events and when hosting parties. The campaign supports safe transportation choices that encourage alternatives to driving while impaired.

Annual Recipes for the Road Books Mixing Together Non-Alcoholic Drink Recipes and Traffic Safety Tips Since 1998

This year, we looked back to our inaugural 1998 issue and drew inspiration from the original collection of non-alcoholic drink recipes. The 16-page Recipes for the Road book is available as a digital flipbook and a printable PDF download for everyone to enjoy and share, helping ensure everyone makes it home for the holidays!

We thank our Traffic Safety Team members, partners, and volunteers who continue to promote traffic safety.

These people and organizations have been instrumental in the success of our Celebrate Safely, Designate a Driver program and the Recipes for the Road booklet!  

Be Responsible. Do Not Drink and Drive.

Thanksgiving through the New Year is a fun and festive time of year. There are many celebrations, family gatherings, festivals, football pre-game tailgating, and holiday parties throughout this fall and winter. They are all best enjoyed when we celebrate responsibly. Please always drive safely and sober.

Seasonal Mocktails, Recipes, and Traffic Safety Tips

We hope you watch, share, and enjoy our alcohol-free drink recipes, appetizer and meal recipes, and safe ABCs of partying tips below. EVEN ONE DRINK of alcohol can slow your reflexes and reaction time, reduce your ability to see clearly, and make you less alert. Be a part of a safety culture focused on preventing injuries and fatalities on our roads.
