State Senator Steve Santarsiero (D-10), along with state Representative and Jim Prokopiak (D-140), announced Wednesday just under $260 K in state funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Green Light-Go program for improvements in Falls Township.
Green Light-Go grants are provided as reimbursement to municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. Grant funding through the Green Light-Go program may be utilized for a range of operational improvements including, but not limited to light-emitting diode (LED) technology installation, traffic signal retiming, developing special event plans and monitoring traffic signals, as well as upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.

“Each of these projects will improve mobility while increasing pedestrian safety at high use intersections around the district,” said Santarsiero. “Technological upgrades to our signal equipment ensure all pedestrians have the ability to move naturally and safely throughout our communities.”
The little more than $259,000 grant will go towards the area around Pennsbury High School on Hood Boulevard, the lawmakers said.
“The safety of our school students and is of paramount importance. I am pleased to see Falls Township and PennDOT invest in improving the traffic light in front of Pennsbury High School, Prokopiak said.
