HARRISBURG – Sen. Camera Bartolotta (R-46) announced today Peters Township has been awarded $897,480 through Pennsylvania’s Green Light-Go Program to modernize traffic signals along Washington Road (State Route 19), a major transportation corridor in Washington County.
The funding will support the complete replacement of traffic signal equipment at four critical intersections along State Route 19: Gallery Drive, Moccasin Drive, Circle Drive and Waterdam Road. These upgrades are designed to improve traffic safety, reduce congestion and enhance overall traffic flow for motorists, pedestrians and local businesses.
“I was pleased to support Peters Township’s application for this funding,” Bartolotta said. “State Route 19 is a primary artery for residents and visitors, and these intersections are some of the most heavily traveled in the township. Modernizing the signals will make a real difference in safety and mobility for the entire community.”
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Green Light-Go Program provides reimbursement funding to municipalities for projects that improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. Eligible improvements include upgrades to modern signal technology, traffic signal retiming and enhanced monitoring systems that allow signals to respond to real-time traffic conditions.
