Bristol Township has been awarded $308,200 to improve safety at a busy intersection in Fairless Hills.

The funds come from PennDOT’s Automated Red Light Enforcement program that is funded by fines from red light violations at 30 intersections in Philadelphia. The program allows money from the violations to be used statewide for improvement projects.
In total, more than $15.4 million in funds were distributed this week. Doylestown Township, Morrisville Borough, Northampton Township, and Plumstead Township in Bucks County also received money.
