Governor Wolf Announces $33 Million in Traffic Signal Improvement Funding

Governor Wolf Announces $33 Million in Traffic Signal Improvement Funding

5/11/2017-HARRISBURG

Governor Tom Wolf announced today that 94 municipalities will receive $33
million to support the costs of upgrading traffic signals under the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's "Green Light-Go" program.

"This is the third round of funding disbursed to support increased safety
and
mobility across more Pennsylvania towns," Governor Wolf said. "The Green
Light-Go program addresses a fundamental trigger for congestion, deficient
traffic signals, and the results will mean better traffic flow."

These reimbursement grant awards can be used on existing traffic signals to

installing light-emitting diode (LED) technology, performing regional
operations such as retiming, developing special event plans and monitoring
traffic signals, as well as upgrading traffic signals to the latest
technologies.

Act 101 of 2016 recently provided updates to the program by reducing the
applicant match to 20 percent, expanding eligible applicants to planning
partners and counties, and allowing all projects to be led by applicants.
Green
Light-Go was made possible by Act 89, the far-reaching transportation plan
adopted in November 2013.
