(Harrisburg, PA) As part of the Green Light-Go Program, a nearly $30 million investment will now go to communities all across Pennsylvania. According to PennDOT, the Green-Light Go Program is a reimbursement grant program that will see municipalities get the money back for projects that improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. Allegheny County has the most funding of these grants because they are receiving about $4.7 million, and over $1 million of that money is from the City of Pittsburgh. Beaver County received just over $132,000, $295,000 will go to Butler County, Fayette County will secure nearly $500,000, and Washington County will obtain nearly $900,000. These grants will help municipalities to improve their congestion and traffic flow by upgrading to technology that is newer, which will enhance the detection of traffic, allowing signals to better respond to traffic demands in real-time.
