Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
Standing at the site of the terrifying January 21, 2020 Metro-North crash in Sloatsburg, New York, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer today called on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to immediately begin the construction, testing, and implementation of its promised and long overdue highway traffic signal preemption technology at the Washington Avenue grade crossing in Rockland County. After reaching out to the MTA following accident, Schumer learned that the MTA never installed the federally funded traffic signal preemption technology at the Washington Avenue crossing that he successfully fought for almost four years ago following the deadly Valhalla and Spuyten Duyvil Crashes.
