Toll roads bill on Gov. DeSantis’ desk puts kids’ health at risk May 15, 2019

If we also want to implement 21st century transportation solutions, several options are healthier, more effective and less costly. We could repair our existing transportation infrastructure, which would help cut down on travel times and alleviate the perceived need for new highway capacity. We could expand our public transit systems to give people more options for getting around without having to drive. We could make it safer and more convenient for people to walk and bike where they need to go. All these benefit communities, and none of them put our kids’ health at additional risk. The same can’t be said about building new tollways.
