Casey, Fetterman Secure More Than $2.4 Million for Safe Streets in South Central PA

Funds will improve road safety in Harrisburg, Gettysburg, and Lower Paxton Township Made possible by the infrastructure law, the funding will help retime traffic lights at dangerous intersections, identify unsafe roads, and plan future safety upgrades Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and John Fetterman (D-PA) secured more than $2.4 million in federal funding to make roads in South Central Pennsylvania safer for all users. Safe street programs in Harrisburg, Lower Paxton Township, and Gettysburg will all receive funding to execute safety projects such as identifying unsafe roads, retiming traffic lights at dangerous intersections, and planning future safety upgrades. The funding was made possible by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). “The infrastructure law is making Pennsylvania’s roads safer by funding long-overdue safety projects in communities across the Commonwealth,” said Senator Casey. “I was proud to advocate for this funding to reduce fatal crashes and make safety upgrades that will protect drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.” “This funding is a game-changer for South Central Pennsylvania. Harrisburg is home to what experts have called one of the most dangerous streets in the nation, and it’s high time we make meaningful changes. Retiming these critical intersections downtown will make our streets safer for everyone who travels through our state capital and the broader South Central area. I’m proud to support this initiative and will continue fighting for investments that protect our communities and make our streets safer.” said Senator Fetterman. Today’s announcement of federal safe streets funding for South Central Pennsylvania consists of three awards, all from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program, funded by the IIJA. The City of Harrisburg is receiving $955,184 for its downtown traffic signal retiming project, which will greatly improve road safety in downtown Harrisburg by fixing poorly timed traffic intervals that cause driver and pedestrian confusion. Lower Paxton Township is receiving $1,386,352 to conduct road safety audits and put into place new safety measures to reduce risk for drivers and pedestrians. The Borough of Gettysburg is receiving $120,000 to develop a comprehensive safety action plan for its roads. ###
