Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On March 31, 2015, Schumer visited Port Chester Village Hall to call on Connecticut officials who are considering placing a new toll on I-95 at the New York border to listen to and incorporate concerns from local New York communities, including Rye and Port Chester, before moving forward. Schumer explained that, according to a study conducted on behalf of the Connecticut Transportation Strategy Board, as many as 14,000 of the 140,000 cars and trucks per day that traverse the route could decide to get off of the highway and use local streets in order to avoid paying the toll. Schumer was joined by U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey, as well as officials from Port Chester and Rye.
