Although it’s finally spring, Long Island roads are still littered with potholes.  It has been an unusually rough winter.  Fortunately, drivers will finally find some relief.  Local governments on Long Island will get almost $4 million in new state aid to fix the roadways this year.

This aid is on top of the $75 million budget increase made to the Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) last year.  The money will be distributed throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties and their localities.

Governor Andrew Cuomo expressed concern regarding the damage to many local roads and bridges.  He declared a state of emergency on 8 separate occasions this winter.  Although the money will be used to fix the current road situation, Cuomo hopes that it can also be used to help brace the roadway surface for future storms.

Snowy conditions can make your commute to work dangerous.  Even a flurry can make roads slippery.  Take precautions this Winter by keeping your car in good condition.  

Here are six tips on how to survive the rest of the Winter, while keeping you and your car safe:

• Slow Down - Remember to drive slowly when it is snowing.  Snowy and icy conditions decrease visibility and increase your risk of sliding.
• Check Tire Pressure - Tires lose about 1 lb of pressure per every 10 degree drop in temperature.  This can add up to 3-4 lbs over time.
• Routine Check Ups - Make sure your headlights, tail lamps and brakes are in good working condition.
• Check Wipers - Make sure your wipers are in good condition and that you have enough washer fluid.  
• Rubber Floor Mats - Investing in rubber mats can keep snow, water, and salt from staining the carpet.
• Scotch Guard - Protect your carpets and upholstery from stains.
