Clearfield – PennDOT today announced that $154,775 in Automated Red Light

its Engineering District 2 area. Statewide, approximately $4.7 million in grants
are being distributed to 43 municipalities and the Southwestern Pennsylvania

Under state law, fines from infractions at 21 intersections in Philadelphia supply the
grant funding.
The law specifies that projects improving safety, enhancing mobility and reducing
congestion can be considered for funding. Municipalities submitted more than 268
applications, totaling approximately $25.4 million.
Projects were selected by an eight-member committee based on criteria such as

with a LED signal;
