The office of Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has issued a second subpoena to the Jacksonville Transportation Authority, the office’s third overall in its inquiry into the authority’s spending. 

Those actions came as JTA lays off staff and prepares to cut its services after identifying a $39 million budget shortfall for fiscal year 2027.
