Governor Tom Wolf recently announced that 20 municipalities will receive $5 million to install and maintain traffic signal technologies which will increase safety, mobility and efficiency on PA roadways.

“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,” Wolf said. “I’m proud to help our communities improve mobility for Pennsylvanians.”

The Traffic Signal Technologies grant program is reimbursement to municipalities for updates. Grant funding may be used for a range of operational improvements, including traffic signal systems, adaptive signal control technology, automated traffic signal performance measures, and connection to PennDOT’s command and control software.

Abington and Upper Moreland made the list of approved projects:

• Abington Township – $388,040 for signal system upgrades and connection to PennDOT’s unified command and control software along Route 611;
• Upper Moreland Township – $557,875 for signal system upgrades and connection to PennDOT’s unified command and control software along Route 611 and Route 263.
