Honor Roll
ITS Florida occasionally identifies a person in the transportation business who has greatly contributed to ITS during their career. Persons who have retired or who are about to retire are considered candidates. Any member may nominate a candidate for the ITS Florida Honor Roll with a letter describing their accomplishments and contributions. These are our current Honorees:

Nicholson (Nick) Adams - FDOT Office of Traffic Operations, for managing the ITS Telecommunications Program and making substantial improvements to ITS communications, including leading the recent highly successful pilot study that enabled Traffic Incident Management personnel, particularly Road Rangers, to be able to use the Florida Highway Patrol 800 MHz radio system statewide.
