The local projects are among 33 statewide and awarded approximately $12.9 million in PennDOT Automated Red-Light Enforcement (ARLE) funding.
“The ARLE program helps municipalities improve traffic flow and safety at intersections for everyone who uses the road. I’m proud that PennDOT continues to invest directly in communities through programs like ARLE, delivering real results for Pennsylvanians,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll.
PennDOT said, “Pennsylvania’s ARLE program aims to improve safety at intersections with traffic signals by providing automated enforcement at locations where data shows red-light running has been an issue.”

The funding comes from fines from red light violations at intersections in Philadelphia.
For this cycle, municipalities submitted 126 applications that totaled more than $78 million in requests.
The awarded projects were picked by an eight-member committee.
