Harrisburg, PA – Today, Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll announced that 63 municipalities will receive over $30 million to support traffic signal upgrades, increasing safety and mobility across Pennsylvania's communities through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's (PennDOT's) “Green Light-Go" program, increasing safety and mobility across Pennsylvania's communities by relieving congestion and improving traffic flow.

Many Green Light-Go grants help municipalities improve congestion and traffic flow by upgrading to newer technologies in detection – which in turn allow traffic signals to respond to real-time traffic demand.

“Governor Shapiro has made clear that state government's top priority should be serving the people of our Commonwealth and improving the services we provide that make a difference in Pennsylvanians' lives. The safety improvements supported by the Green Light-Go program will help municipalities relieve congestion and traffic flow and keep Pennsylvanians moving safely and efficiently," said Secretary Carroll. “I'm proud that the Department of Transportation will continue to help our communities improve mobility for Pennsylvanians as we continue to deliver real results across the Commonwealth."

Green Light-Go grants are provided as reimbursement to municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. These projects will be funded through the appropriation for fiscal year 2024-25. 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 installation, traffic signal retiming, developing special event plans and monitoring traffic signals, as well as upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.
