Rep. Nikki Rivera has announced nearly $874,000 in grant funding from PennDOT. According to Rivera, the funding, which was awarded through the Green Light-Go Program, will support traffic flow and safety improvements in the city of Lancaster and Manheim Township.

The funding includes $91,476 to the City of Lancaster to study and remove unwarranted traffic-control signals, $732,095 to the City of Lancaster to modernize multiple intersections, and $50,000 to Manheim Township to install LED traffic signal modules at multiple locations.

Green Light-Go is a reimbursement-based grant program that requires applicants to provide a 20% local match. Grants may be used for operational improvements, such as installing light-emitting diode technology, retiming traffic signals, developing special-event traffic plans, monitoring signal performance and upgrading traffic signals to the latest technologies.
