2016 – Green Light-Go Program (Year 3) Program Updates and Application Period

PennDOT will be accepting applications for the 2016 Green Light-Go Funding Program (Year 3) from August 8th through September 30th.  The 2016 Green Light-Go Program has Up to $40 million for the competitive application and reimbursement grant program for existing traffic signal improvements such as: light-emitting diode technology and intelligent transportation applications, such as autonomous and connected vehicle-related technology, performing regional operations such as retiming, developing special event plans and monitoring traffic signals and for maintaining and operating traffic signals. 

Recently enacted Act 101 of 2016 (Enhancing Pennsylvania's Green Light-Go Program), Updated the Green Light–Go Program by providing the following enhancements:
·         Reduction of the Municipal Match from 50% to 20%.
·         Expands and clarifies the potential applicants.
·         Expansion to allow existing state highways on local roadways to be considered for the program.
·         Expansion to allow other state or federal funding opportunities to be considered except for Transportation Improvement Plan funding.
·         Expands to allow additional activities such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to be considered.
·         Adjustment to allow focus on a municipal grant reimbursement program.  Therefore awarded municipalities would manage their projects instead of PennDOT (unless otherwise specified).
