On October 19th, on the heels of a 4-year crash analysis by Newsday, Senator Schumer called for a federal safety audit on Long Island’s deadliest roads, including Routes 25 and 27. Standing along Jericho Turnpike in the village of New Hyde Park, Schumer unveiled an official and formal request to the federal DOT that cites the recent analysis and urged action. Schumer announced how an audit’s finding could drive fed funds to the Island in the name of transportation safety. He also explained how he led the Bipartisan Infrastructure bill through the Senate with Long Island in mind and detailed the kinds of funds that could help pay for improvements that an audit might call for.
