Information Technology

The Information Technology program supports the department's five-year work program by managing an automated information processing environment. The purpose of this program's service is to provide timely, economical, and effective data processing services in support of department programs.   Information Technology activities and resources provide for processing, storing and retrieval of data, system development and maintenance, statewide computer network management, information security administration, and general information consulting services supporting the department. 

The information technology infrastructure provides secure access to financial, business, and engineering systems that support the department's core functions: safety, mobility of people and goods, enhancement of economic prosperity, and preservation of the quality of Florida's environment and communities.  Various information technology services are produced by contracted and state employees. These information technology services include the collection, processing, storage, and reporting of transportation data across a supported information technology communications infrastructure; hardware and software support for end-user processing; security and quality assurance of systems; and customer support.

The number and dollars for highway construction projects identified in the department’s Work Program can have an impact on the information technology services needed by the department. In addition, changes mandated by the Federal Highway Administration and other government entities can impact the information technology projects needed.
