A1A Learning Opportunities
Friends of A1A's mission is to preserve, protect, promote, and enhance the outstanding resources of the A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway in a manner that provides a unique experience for visitors and maintains an unhurried lifestyle and “Old Florida” ambiance for all.
A variety of educational and communication workshops are offered as part of a Strategic Plan to inform everyone about the A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway. Topics include resource protection, traffic safety, community outreach, governmental support, economic development, tourism education, hospitality, volunteer and board training. Additionally, we invite the public to review our annual reports required by the
Florida Department of Transportation documenting efforts at achieving our goals.
