Automated Red-Light Enforcement grants will support 33 safety projects in 29 municipalities.
This investment brings the total dollars awarded under the Shapiro Administration to over $87 million, supporting 205 safety projects.
Harrisburg, PA – Today, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that it will distribute approximately $12.9 million in Automated Red-Light Enforcement (ARLE) funding to 29 municipalities statewide to fund 33 safety projects. This investment, which supports the Shapiro Administration’s commitment to safer, more connected communities, brings the total dollars awarded under the Shapiro Administration to over $87 million, supporting 205 safety projects.
“Under Governor Shapiro’s leadership, we’re investing in communities across the Commonwealth,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “The ARLE program helps municipalities improve traffic flow and safety at intersections for everyone who uses the road. I’m proud that PennDOT continues to invest directly in communities through programs like ARLE, delivering real results for Pennsylvanians.”
Pennsylvania’s ARLE program aims to improve safety at intersections with traffic signals by providing automated enforcement at locations where data shows red-light running has been an issue. Grant funding is supplied by fines from red light violations at intersections in Philadelphia. State law specifies that projects improving safety, enhancing mobility and reducing congestion can be considered for funding. Municipalities submitted 126 applications, totaling over $78 million in requests.
Projects were selected by an eight-member committee based on such criteria as safety benefits and effectiveness, cost, and local and regional impact.
