Schumer asked the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to work with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) in conducting this safety audit, which would examine and analyze the intersection, including the design of the roads, the traffic flow and mix, and other characteristics, and identify possible safety improvements, like installing crash attenuators. Schumer said that this federal safety audit will add key technical expertise to the effort already underway by the Tompkins County Truck Safety Committee to improve trucking safety at the intersection. Schumer also urged the FHWA to put federal highway dollars toward any recommendations that emerge from the Road Safety Audit so that improvements can begin as soon as possible.</span></p>"}}
