Welcome
These are incredibly challenging times for transportation. Florida is facing a huge transportation funding crisis and our economic future is in serious jeopardy. An additional $23 billion is needed over the next ten years just to "maintain" current transportation conditions. That's why we're working so hard to be Your "Voice" for Transportation. But we need YOU! We've designed this Web site to be informative and user-friendly so YOU can join us in this important work. Together we can Keep Florida Moving!

State of Denial
Just a mouse with a glandular condition? - Years ago I heard a noted, national speaker deliver a wonderful & memorable quip. He said some people are in such a state of denial that:
If an elephant entered the room, they’d say “no, that’s just a mouse . . . with a glandular condition.”
I always remember this statement whenever Florida ’s leaders attempt to justify diversions of state gas tax dollars from the Transportation Trust Fund.
Pleasant-sounding euphemisms like “sweep” or “redirect” can’t obscure the reality of what’s going on – a THEFT of your gas tax dollars and mine! Try as they might, that huge elephant in the room can't be confused with a mouse.
