Issue Position: Rebuilding our Infrastructure

Issue Position

Congressman Suozzi is committed to ensuring that New York and his constituents receive a 21st-century infrastructure for a 21st-century economy. The New York economy is the engine that drives our country, yet limited federal dollars are relegated to fixing our old and decaying rails, roads, bridges, tunnels, schools, and sewers. A band-aid approach will only stymie the power and might of New York's economy. We need a comprehensive approach that adequately reflects the demands of New York's $1.7 trillion economy and incorporates sustainable infrastructure that can mitigate the impacts of climate change while reducing human contributions that exacerbate the ongoing crisis. Suozzi will fight to ensure that this infrastructure investment looks to the future and is smarter, safer, and built to last.

Suozzi's priorities include:

waste and drinking water improvements;
ensuring upgrades for the Long Island Railroad;
increasing access and updates to Glen Cove Ferry and New York City public transit;
stabilizing the Highway Trust Fund to improve local roads on Long Island;
green energy production, electric vehicles, and the accompanying infrastructure to support them;
public school modernization; and
funding, expediting and advancing Gateway.
