Ex-JTA Board Member Alleges Ignored Warnings, Calls for Probes Amid Jacksonville Transport Crisis
Former Jacksonville Transportation Authority board member Megan Hayward says warnings about the agency’s spending and oversight were ignored, contributing to a financial crisis, layoffs, and the Skyway/NAVI shutdown under the U2C project. She was removed from the board by Mayor Donna Deegan in March 2025 and now calls for criminal investigations by state and federal authorities and the DOT; the mayor’s office disputes the claims and defends board appointments.
