AMBRIDGE, Dec. 30 – New funding of $132,024 will bring a smoother safer commute to a busy Center Township intersection, state Rep. Rob Matzie, D-Beaver, announced today.
Matzie, who is chairman of the House Majority Caucus, said the grant secured under the Green Light-Go Program will support work to modernize the signal equipment at the intersection of Pleasant Drive (Route 3017) and Autumn Street.
“Modern signal equipment is essential for safe and efficient traffic flow,” Matzie said. “Securing the new funding will allow the township to upgrade this busy intersection with state-of-the-art equipment. The project will better protect motorists, pedestrians and cyclists and keep travel in the township running more smoothly.”
Green Light-Go grants are administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and are provided as reimbursement to municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. The funding may be used for a range of improvements including, but not limited to, LED light technology installation, traffic signal retiming, developing special event plans, monitoring traffic signals and upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.
The Green Light-Go Program is a reimbursement grant program, and applicants are required to provide a minimum 20% match.
