train safety

In the four years since south Florida's first high-speed rail began service, 68 deaths have occurred along the corridor, making it the deadliest rail corridor per mile in the country. Broward County’s portion of the railway has prompted a federal review – and possible removal – of a quiet zone that could soon target Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties as well.

Tracks used by the nation’s deadliest railroad will see added fencing to keep pedestrians away and safety improvements at crossings under a $25 million federal grant.

Broward County could lose its federally mandated "quiet zone" along the Florida East Coast Railway line as industry and government officials seek ways to reduce deaths among trespassers on railroad property and motorists who try to beat trains across the tracks.

The proliferation of accidents has led to a new $45 million plan to boost public safety. The two companies are teaming with the state of Florida to prevent crashes along the railroad corridor between Miami-Dade and Brevard counties.
