About Long Island Traffic

Our Mission

Long Island Traffic exists to give Nassau and Suffolk County residents the fastest, most accurate picture of what's happening on their roads. We aggregate data from 511NY, the National Weather Service, the Suffolk County Police Department, and the Nassau County Police Department — and we surface it in a way that's actually useful when you're deciding whether to leave now or wait.

We're not a government agency. We're not affiliated with any law enforcement organization. We're a local publisher that cares about getting you home safely.

Editorial Standards

• — Accuracy first. We publish what we can verify. Unconfirmed reports are labeled as such and updated when official information becomes available.
• — No speculation. We do not infer the cause of an incident. Victim names require explicit source evidence of age 19 or older; child or minor wording overrides naming. Our editorial policy describes the full privacy standard.
• — Source attribution. Every data point carries a source label — you can always see where the information came from.
• — Timely corrections. We correct factual errors as soon as we become aware of them. See our correction policy below.
• — Automation disclosed. We use agency feeds and AI-assisted drafting and checks. Long Island Traffic remains responsible for its published reports; our editorial policy explains the process and its limits.

Correction Policy

We take accuracy seriously. If you spot an error — a wrong location, a cleared incident we haven't updated, or anything factually incorrect — please email us at corrections@longislandtraffic.com .

Confirmed factual errors are corrected in place with a dated note. Privacy corrections remove identifying details rather than repeating them in the note; a private record preserves the change history.

Data Sources

Our incident and road condition data is sourced from the following public and official records. Reports from news outlets are treated as leads only; we publish when a primary record, two independent sources, or our own data supports the story. See our source standards.
