About Us
The Northeast Florida Safety Council exists to prevent accidents and safety hazards on the road and in the community.
Our goal is to build a safer community through prevention programs and education.
Northeast Florida Safety Council was founded in 1942 by a group of dedicated local Jacksonville businessmen who were concerned about the growing traffic issue in the community.
Their purpose still motivates us today as the three biggest causes of fatalities on the road are alcohol, speeding and lack of seat belt use. A strong safety culture is good for business and good for employees at work, on the road and at home. Today, we proudly serve 9 northeast Florida counties as a nonprofit, with 3 facilities, dozens of partners, and a wide range of prevention programs, DUI School, and driver improvement courses to meet your needs.
