JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Florida Attorney General’s Office has ordered the Jacksonville Transportation Authority to turn over a broad set of records, including emails and texts involving interim Executive Director Cleveland Ferguson, former CEO Nat Ford and Mayor Donna Deegan. The subpoena is dated Oct. 7 and directs Ferguson to provide the records by Oct. 30. It seeks electronic communications from October 2023 through December 2025, including discussions of JTA audits, the authority’s finances, sponsorships and the termination of accounting and coding employees. The request also covers communications among other city and JTA officials on specified subjects, as well as messages mentioning engineering firm WSP or contracts with WSP and Janet Walker-Ford. Beyond communications, the subpoena seeks JTA contracts and payments to several firms; travel records for five employees; salary information for employees earning more than $150,000 annually; and invoices exceeding $5,000 for vehicle maintenance. It also requests sponsorship records for named organizations covering Jan. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2026. “The JTA remains committed to transparency and accountability and will provide information as requested throughout this process,” the agency said in a statement. The city said JTA is a regional state transportation agency whose board is mostly appointed by the governor, while its budget is reviewed and approved by Jacksonville City Council. The new demand follows an earlier subpoena seeking records on tuition reimbursement, contracts with an organizational development firm and ridership for JTA’s NAVI autonomous vehicle program. The Attorney General’s Office is also seeking communications involving Ford. The records request comes amid scrutiny of the agency’s finances. JTA faces a shortfall of roughly $39 million, and City Council approved an emergency $30 million gas-tax plan on Oct. 13 to help stabilize its finances. The subpoenas seek information about the agency’s operations and spending; they do not, by themselves, establish wrongdoing.
