About Us

The University of Florida Transportation Technology Transfer Center (T2) houses the Florida Occupant Protection Resource Center (OPRC). The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) established the OPRC in 2012 to help reduce motor vehicle-related injuries and fatalities on Florida’s roadways.

This web-based resource center serves the entire state as a one-stop-shop for occupant protection-related public information and educational materials, child safety seats, training opportunities, and links to other occupant protection resources.

What We Do

The OPRC is a dedicated hub for occupant protection advocacy providing information and resources to improve the use of age-appropriate safety restraints throughout the state. We work with a wide variety of safety partners to promote occupant protection use among Florida’s low use populations, and support occupant protection professionals and law enforcement officers who deliver programs for parents and caregivers and who enforce occupant protection laws.
