The Jobs Bill passed by Congress last week contains a $2.2 billion rescission of transportation funds from state Departments of Transportation. Florida's rescission is $112.6 million.

BikeWalkLee sent a letter to Governor Crist and other state officials to urge them not to cut funding for biking and walking programs. See below:
