Background Information:
The intent of this contract is to utilize law enforcement support to enhance a comprehensive safety
campaign that will educate pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists of safe behaviors within high priority
intersections within the City of Miami. The Traffic Enforcement Unit will be responsible for these
enforcement activities; however, patrol uniform officers will also be scheduled to assist when the traffic
enforcement unit officers are not available. Education and enforcement activities may include warnings
and/or citations to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists in accordance with Florida Statutes.
Enforcement officers will distribute safety educational materials, such as reflective items and printed
materials prior to issuing citations. According to the University of South Florida, this campaign is a
component of Florida's Bicycle/Pedestrian Focused Initiative Communication & High Visibility
Enforcement Implementation under the direction of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and
the University. FDOT will provide the City of Miami copies of the required training materials, a copy of
Florida's Pedestrian and Bicycle Strategic Safety Plan, and educational materials to support the efforts.
