Just to be clear. . .Quiet zones in Palm Beach, Broward not impacted by governor’s veto

The Real Time blog has this important information about quiet zones along the FEC tracks:

     In a statement Tuesday, Palm Beach County’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, which determines how federal and state transportation money is spent to improve transit, said the veto will have “no effect on the construction of quiet zone improvements or the implementation of quiet zones within Palm Beach County.”Scott on Tuesday vetoed $461.4 million in spending from the $78.7 billion state budget approved by the Legislature last week. Among the items vetoed — $10 million for railroad crossing improvements.
     All Aboard Florida has pledged to invest $60 million in a series of safety improvements at crossings on the Florida East Coast Railway tracks from Miami to West Palm Beach.
