Districts
The Florida Department of Transportation is decentralized in accordance with legislative mandates. Each district is managed by a District Secretary. They vary in organizational structure, but in general, each has major divisions for Administration, Planning, Production, and Operations. Also, each district has a Public Information Office that reports to the District Secretary and a District Chief Counsel who reports to the DOT General Counsel in Tallahassee.
