Members of Florida’s Democratic Congressional Delegation recently sent a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis, urging him to accept $320 million in federal Carbon Reduction Program funds to reduce carbon pollution and improve the state’s transportation network.
Florida is the only state to reject funding.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) had spent months planning how to best utilize the funding. This included a public meeting and presentation, and a comprehensive plan to reduced congestion, create safe rest stop areas and address public transit.
