Schumer: Funding Will Tune Westchester Into The Next Generation Of Emergency Radio Tech!
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer today announced that he has secured $2,000,000 for critical upgrades to overhaul Westchester County’s emergency radio and transit communication system. The funding was secured as a part of the bipartisan omnibus spending package for Fiscal Year 2022. Schumer explained that firefighters, police, EMS and transit like the Bee Line bus system, all rely on these communication systems in their daily work to ensure public safety and deliver vital services to Westchester County residents. This funding will help upgrade Westchester’s radio system, some of which was based off analog technology, with new state of the art reliable communications to save critical taxpayer dollars and bolster essential services to keep those who live, work and visit Westchester County safe.
“In an emergency, when seconds count, you need the best in communication technology. When Westchester County told me they needed help getting these outdated emergency & transit radio systems replaced I heard them loud and clear, and I am proud to have secured $2 million in federal funding to give our firefighter, EMS, police and buses the modern equipment to keep Westchester families safe,” said Senator Schumer. “This funding will boost our first responders, the Bee Line, and so many other essential services to keep Westchester running smoothly and tuned into the latest in radio technology.”
