On November 10, 2021 standing with locals from the commuter council, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer revealed that under the just-passed Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework (BIF) that he negotiated in the Senate, LIRR and commuter rail will receive their own federal allocation of $2.6 billion in total. Schumer said that when he was leading the negotiations on this legislation that he was focused on Long Island, because of how hard COVID hit the Island and its countless commuters. Schumer also revealed other local transportation projects poised for new action and funding. These include new ADA enhancements at LIRR stations, Jamaica Capacity Overhaul, LIE safety measures, Heckscher State Parkway Bridge repair, Meadowbrook State Parkway rehab, and more.
