Established over 10 years ago, Florida’s Shared-Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail Program has been providing paved gateways for our communities to get out and explore our state’s natural beauties and hidden gems. By expanding Florida’s trail network through this program, we are improving safety and connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists in these areas. Take the day to get and out and experience one of these trails yourself! Who knows, you may just stumble upon one of our Florida America 250 Road Trip locations.

Before you go, secure your cargo! Having unsecured cargo on a vehicle is dangerous and causes thousands of injuries on the road every year, so it is important to make sure anything you’re hauling is properly secured with ropes, netting, or straps to prevent crashes or road hazards.

On this day, June 5, in 1998, the Truman Show was released and introduced the world to the fictional town of ‘Seahaven.’ Filmed in Seaside, Florida, the Truman Show turned this quaint community into a popular tourist destination. Seaside was the brainchild of Robert Davis and is considered one of America’s first master‑planned communities and a model for New Urbanism. Today, the region continues to thrive while balancing popularity with its now historic charm. You can visit this silver-screen town as one of the stops on our Florida America250 Road Trip!

The 100 Deadly Days of Summer remind us that small decisions behind the wheel have life-changing consequences. - Teens are 2.5x more likely to take risks when driving with one teen passenger. - That risk jumps to 3x with multiple passengers. Make safety a habit and look out for your friends! Discover safe driving resources at FLTeenSafeDriver.org

Fun fact: Thomas Edison once said, “There is only one Fort Myers in the United States, and there are 90 million people who are going to find it out.” In 1885, Edison came to Fort Myers and purchased his winter estate, right by the Caloosahatchee River. After enjoying this winter retreat for over 6 decades, the home, along with Henry Ford’s became open to the public in 1947 and is now a National Register Historic Site! That’s not all – this site is also a stop on our Florida America 250 Road Trip. Visitors can explore areas like Edison’s chemistry lab while learning about their legacy that spurred Southwest Florida's 20th-century development.

📸 Gandy Bridge Toll Gate, 1930 Named after George "Dad" Gandy who first thought of the idea for the bridge in 1902. The bridge officially opened in 1924. In 1956, a second Gandy bridge opened, making each bridge one-way east and west bound connectors. @America250FL @MyFDOT_Tampa

Ride sober to stay in control. Alcohol and other impairing substances like marijuana reduce balance, coordination, reaction time, and judgment. These are the exact skills riders depend on. A sober rider = Master of the road. #RideSmartFL
