The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT’s) Traffic Signal Technologies Grant program recently awarded 20 municipalities $5 million to install and maintain traffic signal technologies.
Act 54 of 2022 established the Traffic Signal Technologies grant program, which reimburses municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. The technology covered under the program includes adaptive signal control technology, automated traffic signal performance measures, connection to PennDOT’s unified command and control software, and new traffic signal systems.
“The safety improvements supported by the Traffic Signal Technologies grant program not only help municipalities relieve congestion and traffic flow, they help Pennsylvanians move safely and efficiently,” Gov. Tom Wolf said. “I’m proud to help our communities improve mobility for Pennsylvanians.”
Lower Paxton Township in Dauphin County received $1.2 million for the installation of an adaptive traffic signal system along Linglestown Road.
Upper Moreland Township in Montgomery County received $557,875 for signal system upgrades and connection to PennDOT’s unified command and control software along Route 611 and Route 263.
Summit and Millcreek townships in Erie County received $441,200 for signal system upgrades and connection to PennDOT’s unified command and control software along Peach Street.
Abington Township in Montgomery County received $388,040 for signal system upgrades and connection to PennDOT’s unified command and control software along Route 611.
