Charles Schumer announced that $2.6
billion in federal funding is being allocated to the Long Island Rail Road.
The
funds are coming from the recently passed bipartisan infrastructure framework
bill.
Schumer
says the money will be used for new
signals, a capacity overhaul at Jamaica station and will make all stations
accessible to the disabled.
"These
direct funds for the Long Island Rail
Road will keep workers working, keep riders riding, will keep the
24/7 service in place, will stop the cuts that were entertained during
COVID--in all it will keep Long Island moving," Schumer says.
He says
the money will also be used to repair roads, bridges and highways.
