Two Butler County communities will get money from the state Department of Transportation to fund road safety projects.

PennDOT on Friday announced that nearly $6.6 million in Automated Red Light Enforcement (ARLE) funding will be distributed to 37 municipalities statewide to fund 41 safety projects.

In the county, Connoquenessing Township will get $36,100 to optimize traffic signal timing at four intersections and Cranberry Township will get $37,625 to upgrade signal timing with an adaptive traffic-signal control system, which adjusts signal timing based on traffic demand, at six intersections.

Under state law, fines from red light violations at 28 intersections in Philadelphia supply the grant funding.

The state’s ARLE program aims to improve safety at signalized intersections by providing automated enforcement at locations where data shows red-light running has been an issue.
