State grants provided for traffic signal upgrades

Gov. Tom Wolf announced the release of funds to upgrade traffic signals under the Department of Transportation’s “Green Light-Go” program.

The grants can be used on existing traffic signals, installing light-emitting diode (LED) technology, performing operations such as retiming and upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.

Act 101 of 2016 recently provided updates to the program by reducing the applicant match to 20 percent, expanding the list of eligible applicants.
