Shovel-ready

PBP reports that the Palm Beach County MPO made its decision:

The Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization, a board of city and county leaders who set transportation priorities, voted today to send the final, eight-item list to Tallahassee, estimating the projects would create at least 720 jobs.

The vote clears the way for Florida to begin receiving federal stimulus cash, as Palm Beach County's was the last transportation board in the state to have not already submitted its project list. State transportation officials will review this and other stimulus wish lists from across the state to ensure all projects are eligible before forwarding them to the legislature for final approval. [Emphasis mine]

The article has a line describing each of the eight projects. None of these are transit-oriented.
