Transportation in Florida

With over 12,000 miles in its State Highway System and approximately 1,350 miles of coastline, Florida is a driver’s paradise. 

This guide from the State Library of Florida explores the role of transportation in Florida history and in modern times. 

Transportation and motor vehicle professionals employed by the State of Florida who have a State Library card can access e-books, online journals and other resources for free. 

We can also deliver books and research articles directly to your office.  

Other researchers can request most of these materials through their local public library. 

Links within the bibliographies take you to information in our catalog or to more information on external sites.
