HARRISBURG – Gov. Tom Wolf announced Thursday that 70 municipalities will receive more than $31 million to support traffic signal upgrades, increasing safety and mobility across Pennsylvania’s communities.
“This is the fourth round of funding disbursed to support increased safety and mobility across more Pennsylvania towns,” Wolf said.
“The Green Light-Go program addresses mechanisms that if not functioning properly can aggravate congestion and impede traffic flow.”
Funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s “Green Light-Go” program, 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 instillation, traffic signal retiming, developing special event plans and monitoring traffic signals, as well as upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.
Following is a list of the Clearfield County funding recipients, the amount of state funding and a brief description of the projects.
