Re: Request to operate CB Radio Service Systems by Remote Control for the Florida Turnpike.
Dear Mr. Kelley,
This letter is in response to your request, received July 16, 2008, for written approval of the Florida 
Department of Transportation’s (FDoT) proposal to operate CB stations by wireline remote control to 
provide emergency information to motorists along the Florida Turnpike Enterprise’s turnpike.1 Pursuant 
to CB Rule 19(b) (47 C.F.R. § 95.419(b)), the Mobility Division of the Wireless Telecommunications 
Bureau by this letter provides written approval for FDoT to use wireline remote control to operate CB 
stations at the locations described below.  If FDoT wishes to add locations, it may do so by providing 
advanced notification to the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, Mobility Division.  Our approval of 
the operations at the specified locations below is subject to the following conditions:
· Each transmission must identify the CB station operator as the Florida Department of 
Transportation and provide a telephone number or other contact information for FDoT to which 
complaints of interference to CB communications can be directed.
· If the FCC receives complaints of harmful interference, the FCC may limit the operation of the 
CB stations pursuant to CB Rule 23 (47 C.F.R. § 95.423). 
· The CB radio station operator should carefully consider channel selection to reduce the likelihood 
of harmful interference to on-going communications.
· The CB stations will transmit only during an emergency event such as hazardous weather 
conditions, accidents impeding traffic flow, or other incidents, and will cease transmissions when 
the event no longer presents a hazard.  The CB stations may, however, make brief transmissions 
for the purpose of testing the technical operation of the stations.
· Transmissions will be made at a set interval that will allow ample time between transmissions for 
other CB operators to use the channel.
· All reasonable attempts will be made to avoid interference to other CB operations, including, if 
possible, monitoring of the channel before transmissions.
The locations of the CB stations are as follows:
