Requires that the department of transportation and every municipality, locality and public authority shall not spread road salt at a rate higher than three hundred pounds per lane mile on average during each snow and ice management season.

This bill limits the amount of road salt that can be used by the New York Department of Transportation and local authorities during winter weather. Specifically, it sets a maximum of 300 pounds of salt per lane mile for each snow and ice management season. The goal is to reduce environmental impact while still maintaining road safety during winter conditions.

Supporters of the bill argue that it promotes environmental sustainability by reducing the excessive use of road salt, which can harm local ecosystems and water quality. They believe this regulation strikes a balance between ensuring safe road conditions and protecting the environment for future generations.

Critics of the bill contend that limiting road salt could compromise road safety during severe winter weather. They argue that the proposed cap may not be sufficient to effectively manage snow and ice, potentially leading to hazardous driving conditions and increased accident rates.
