(Pennsylvania) PennDOT is beginning its preparations for winter. PennDOT confirmed that new measures signed into law by Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro will not only keep travelers safe, but also roadways can be cleared quickly thanks to new equipment funded by Governor Shapiro’s first budget. New green lights were also added to vehicles. PennDOT has prepared 4,700 on-the-road workers, 728,000 tons of salt, and over $186 million budgeted for statewide operations this winter.
