Exeter Township has been awarded a $120,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to improve its traffic signals with the hope of reducing congestion and increasing safety and mobility.
The funding will be spent to upgrade the synchronization of traffic signals and improve vehicle detection along the Perkiomen Avenue corridor.
The grant was given through the state’s Green Light-Go program, which reimburses municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals.
Grant funding may be used for a range of operational improvements including LED technology installation, traffic signal retiming, developing special event plans and monitoring traffic signals, as well as upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.
“The safety improvements supported by the Green Light-Go program help municipalities relieve congestion and traffic flow, as well as keep Pennsylvanians moving safely and efficiently,” Gov. Tom Wolf said Wednesday in a press release announcing the recipients of the grants. “I’m proud to help our communities improve mobility for Pennsylvanians.”
