A huge success!! Eric Bridges, who is attending the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee markup session reports that-the Quiet Car language has passed as part of S. 3302, the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 2010. An amendment to the original bill, offered by one of the members of the Committee, was not necessary as it was contained in the Manager's Amendment to the bill. Both Senator Kerry and Senator Rockefeller voiced strong support of the measure. Because the language appears in both the House and Senate versions, when the bills go to conference to work out any differences between the bill, the Quiet Car language will remain in the bill that will be signed into law by President Obama.
