Economic Benefits from Transportation Projects

This video produced by CBS News in December 2008 provides an excellent explanation of the increased ECONOMIC benefits derived from transportion projects.




As this CBS Video clearly shows, now, more than ever, transportation investments make Dollars & Sense. Simply put, “Transportation Makes Florida WORK”
                                . . . and that’s why we should FUND IT!

Transportation Makes Florida Work - Fund It!

A Common Sense Plan

Common Sense 5-Point PlanRather than “raiding” Florida’s Transportation Trust Fund, state leaders should be about spurring our economic recovery by “investing” MORE in transportation and focusing limited resources on what’s truly important to the public.

Jobs Pledge

Florida legislators were asked to sign a Jobs Pledge stating their opposition to efforts to "redirect, raid, divert or sweep" dollars from the State Transportation Trust Fund.

Current Florida legislators – and candidates for the Legislature in the upcoming 2010 Elections – are encouraged to publicly pledge NOT to “sweep” badly-needed Jobs Creating dollars from the Transportation Trust Fund.

A version of the Jobs Pledge for Gubernatorial candidates has also been created. Florida Attorney General and GOP Candidate for Governor Bill McCollum has signed this Pledge.Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum (wearing a yellow TRU$T button!) with FBT President Doug Callaway
