Senator Dan Laughlin announces $533,988 dollar reward being given to Summit Township though PennDOT’s Green Light Go-Program.
The Green Light-Go Program provides funding to municipalities for projects that improve the operation and efficiency of existing traffic signals. Eligible projects include traffic signal modernization, LED technology upgrades, traffic signal timing improvements, monitoring systems, and other improvements designed to enhance safety and mobility.
Since 2023, PennDOT has awarded $134 million through the Green Light-Go Program to communities across Pennsylvania, helping upgrade more than 1,700 traffic signals statewide.
This award is being given to the county in order to upgrade traffic signals and improve both safety and mobility for residents and commuters throughout Summit.
This funding will support traffic signal upgrades at several key intersections including:
Waterford Street and Bloomfield Avenue
Douglas Parkway and Commons Drive
Perry Highway and Route 9016 Ramp A and B
Perry Highway and Route 9016 Ramp C and D
Perry Highway and Presque Isle Drive
Perry Highway and Robinson Road
According to Sen. Laughlin “Upgrading traffic signals improves safety for drivers and pedestrians while helping traffic move more efficiently. I’m pleased to see state resources coming back to Erie County to support important local improvements.”
