摘要：	As the population continued to grow and Florida’s predominately rural population became increasingly urban and concentrated in South Florida, the transportation infrastructure came under more and more strain. Approximately eight different state agencies controlled various parts of the transportation system, and little coordination existed among them. In 1968, a new Florida Constitution was ratified, replacing the Reconstruction-era document of 1868. New legislative districts were created, reshuffling the voting power to more accurately reflect the people of the state. The next year, the modernization effort extended to the agencies of state government. Prior to reorganization, Florida had 125 separate state agencies. After reorganization, these had been consolidated into 25 – including the Department of Transportation, which absorbed the old State Road Department in its entirety. By the early 1960s, HRB had nearly completed administering the groundbreaking AASHO Road Test, the single largest cooperative research effort at the time. Using funds pooled from state and federal agencies, the Road Test was the first national study to examine the impacts of truck loads on different asphalt and concrete pavement designs.
