PennDOT; Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat; and State Rep. Joe Hogan, a Republican, announced recently that the municipality will get $138,887 for updated signal equipment throughout the township.
“The safety improvements will help keep our drivers safe on the road and lessen traffic congestions at key points in the area,” Hogan said.
State officials explained that Green Light-Go grants are provided as reimbursement to municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. Grant funding through the Green Light-Go program may be utilized for a range of operational improvements including, but not limited to, light-emitting diode (LED) technology installation, traffic signal retiming, developing special event plans and monitoring traffic signals, as well as upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.

“My Administration has made clear that the Commonwealth’s top priority is serving the people of our Commonwealth and improving the services we provide to make a difference in Pennsylvanians’ lives, and the safety improvements supported by the Green Light-Go program will help municipalities relieve congestion and traffic flow and keep Pennsylvanians moving safely and efficiently,” said Shapiro.
