Act 54 of 2022 enacted on July 11, 2022 includes $5 million to provide grants to municipalities to install and maintain traffic signal technologies. The Traffic Signal Technologies Grant (TSTG) program is a reimbursement grant program for municipalities that is administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The funding was added to the municipal traffic signals appropriation, which is also used to fund the Green Light-Go program. Therefore, PennDOT will administer the additional funds for traffic signal technologies similar to the Green Light-Go program. No matching funds are required for the TSTG program.
The total amount of grant funding available
is $5 million. Applications will be accepted from September 1, 2022 to
September 30, 2022.
A pre-application scoping form is required and may be submitted to RA-PDSignalFunding@pa.gov beginning
immediately.
A page
has been added to the Traffic Signal Portal with links to the Grant Guidelines
and FAQ. We will coordinate the pre-application scoping form review at Central
Office to promote statewide consistency. We expect to have the formal
application portal in the ESA system opened on September 1.
