The Committee on Transportation of the Florida State Legislature convened on March 19, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including the introduction of a special license plate for Miami Northwestern Senior High School.

The meeting began with Senator Davis highlighting the impressive graduation rates at Miami Northwestern, while also acknowledging the school's notable football program. He prompted a discussion about the school's coach, Teddy Bridgewater, who has a history with the NFL and has contributed to the school's athletic success. This led to a light-hearted exchange among senators about their experiences with Miami Northwestern's football team, particularly a recent championship game where Senator Davis's team faced a significant defeat.

Senator Bridal then expressed gratitude towards Senator Jones for bringing attention to the contributions of high schools like Miami Northwestern, emphasizing their role in preparing students for future careers and trades. He praised the school's impact on the community and the importance of recognizing such achievements.

Senator Jones closed the discussion by reiterating the significance of Miami Northwestern in the Miami-Dade community and the honor of being the first high school to have a dedicated license plate. He noted a recent meeting with the governor, who acknowledged the school's successes.

Following the discussions, the committee voted on Senate Bill 666, which was reported favorably with unanimous support from all present senators. The meeting concluded with Senator Collins handing over the proceedings to Vice Chair Avila to continue with the agenda.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of high school achievements in Florida and the legislative efforts to recognize and celebrate these institutions.
