Emergency Contact Information
The new emergency contact information system (ECI) implemented by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles allows Florida motorists to voluntarily provide emergency contact information online using their Florida driver licenses or Florida identification cards. The information can then be accessed by law enforcement officers to notify designated contacts if a motorist is seriously injured or killed in a traffic crash.
