Statement by
GOVERNOR CHARLIE CRIST
Regarding the Florida Senate’s Approval of Transit Rail

“I am grateful today that 111 members of the Florida Legislature have taken a brave and historic step to transform Florida’s future – not only as it relates to transportation in our state, but also for the employment and economic opportunity of our people. Providing jobs for Floridians continues to be to the most important reason to pass this legislation.

“I especially want to thank House Speaker Larry Cretul and Senate President Jeff Atwater for their work to pass this landmark legislation by such a wide margin. Florida’s businesses will benefit, as will the residents and visitors to our state for many generations to come.”
