Ryan secures nearly $600,000 in funds for Safe Streets plans for Warwick and Goshen

WASHINGTON, DC –  Congressman Pat Ryan secured nearly $600,000 for safe streets plans for Hudson Valley communities. The Village of Warwick will receive $406,167 for a comprehensive, town-wide safe streets plan and public awareness campaign and the Town of Goshen will receive $191,180 to begin developing a safe streets plan.

“Safer, more accessible and sustainable transportation is transformative for entire communities – from getting kids to school safely, to helping small businesses grow, to creating jobs,” said Congressman Pat Ryan. “I fought relentlessly to secure these funds, and am now proud to announce safer streets are on the way for Warwick and Goshen families.” 

The grants received by Warwick and Goshen were funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and administered by the Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program. With the funds, Warwick will develop a complete safe streets program and pilot a Slow Down Warwick campaign that will utilize low-cost, high-impact safety strategies. Goshen will utilize the funds to develop a comprehensive safety action plan with specific focus on reducing traffic congestion and collisions at the entry to Legoland.

Congressman Pat Ryan sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and has delivered numerous DOT grants to the Hudson Valley, including the historic $21.7 million RAISE grant received by Kingston and $4.75 million for safety and infrastructure improvements at Hudson Valley Regional and Orange County Airports.

Earlier this year, Congressman Pat Ryan toured local small businesses in downtown Warwick and secured $125,000 to combat youth drug use in Warwick Valley Central School District.
