HARRISBURG, July 31 – Nearly $2.1 million will be earmarked to municipalities in Centre County to improve traffic safety, Rep. Paul Takac, D-Centre, announced.

The Green Light-Go Program grants for Centre County, which are awarded through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, are as follows:

  • Benner Township - $168,220 for upgrades to traffic signal equipment at the intersections of Eagle Point, Amberleigh Lane, Stonecrest Drive and Benner Pike (Route 150).
  • College Township - $463,116 for updated traffic signal equipment at seven intersections including six intersections along Park Avenue (Route 3007) and one along University Drive (Route 3022).
  • State College Borough - $1.46 million for upgrading the boroughs existing signal network communication system.

“One of the most important responsibilities of state and local governments is ensuring public safety, especially on our roads,” Takac said. “Totaling nearly $2.1 million, this significant and much needed ARLE funding will help protect drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians on some of our busiest and most heavily traveled routes.

“As the former chair of the Centre Region COG’s Public Safety Committee, I am committed to partnering with local municipalities to ensure that these funds are made available and being used where they are needed most,” he added.
