HARRISBURG, Pa. — Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that 86 municipalities across the Commonwealth will receive $38 million through the Green Light-Go Program to improve traffic safety and mobility by reducing congestion and improving traffic flow. A handful of those counties selected is in our area.

Since Governor Shapiro took office, $134 million has been distributed to municipalities through the program, and over 1,700 traffic signals have been upgraded, according to a news release from PennDOT.

“Under Governor Shapiro’s leadership, we’re working to serve the people of our Commonwealth by improving the services that make a real difference in their lives,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “The safety improvements supported by the Green Light-Go program will help municipalities keep Pennsylvanians moving safely and efficiently. I’m proud that PennDOT continues to partner with communities to deliver real results.”

Pennsylvania officials say Green Light-Go grants are provided as reimbursements to municipalities for projects that improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. These projects are funded through the FY 2026–27 budget. Eligible improvements include, but are not limited to, installation of light-emitting diode (LED) technology, traffic signal retiming, special-event traffic planning, traffic signal monitoring, and upgrades to modern signal technologies.
