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!

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.

Recipes For The Road Card

In 2021, we distributed Summer Celebrate Safely “Recipes for the Road” cards printed as double-sided, 5.5″ x 8.5″ handouts in full color. They were available for our Northeast Florida Traffic Safety Team members, partners, organizations, and local communities.

In 2019, there were almost 2,000 reported crashes, with 109 fatalities involving impaired driving throughout the Northeast Florida district. That is 109 deaths that could have been prevented. This summer and throughout the year, remember to celebrate safely always!
