HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation says a new program to help pay for traffic signal upgrades
should reduce congestion.
The agency on Tuesday announced "Green
Light-Go," funded by gasoline taxes and fees from last year's
transportation law.
Governments can apply for money to improve signals on
state-owned roads. They'll have to manage projects in areas that get relatively
less traffic, but PennDOT will handle them on roads that handle more than
10,000 vehicles per day.
The funding requires local municipalities to pay for half
the cost.
The state is contributing a statewide total of up to $10
million this year, $25 million next year and $40 million in the following
years.
The deadline to apply is Nov. 14.

Light - GO: Pennsylvania's Municipal Signal Partnership Program:
The Green Light-Go: Pennsylvania’s
Municipal Signal Partnership Program, also known as the “Green Light – Go
Program”, provides state funds for the operation and maintenance of traffic
signals along critical and designated state highways. Act 89 of 2013 created
Title 75, Section 9511(e.1) [Allocation to Municipalities for Traffic Signals]
which is a new grant funding program for designated corridors. The Department
developed a similar traffic signal modernization and improvement program for
critical corridors designed to improve safety and mobility by reducing
congestion and improving efficiency on key state highways.
