Link: Governor Wolf Announces EighteenMunicipalities to Improve Traffic Safety with Red Light Enforcement Funds
Nearly $5.5 million in Automated Red Light Enforcement (ARLE) funding will be distributed to 18 municipalities statewide to fund 23 safety projects.
The law specifies that projects improving safety, enhancing mobility and reducing congestion can be considered for funding. Municipalities submitted more than 194 applications, totaling approximately $41.5 million.
Projects were selected by an eight-member committee based on criteria such as benefits and effectiveness, cost, local and regional impact, and cost sharing.
This investment brings the total dollars awarded through the ARLE funding program since 2010 to $45.4 million, funding 298 safety projects.
