Smart Intersections: Less Traffic, Cleaner Air, Faster Emergency Response

This act establishes a grant program for states and local governments to upgrade traffic signals. The goal is to reduce congestion, improve road safety, lower fuel costs for drivers, and decrease air pollution. Citizens can expect smoother commutes and quicker emergency service access.
Key points
Reduced traffic jams: New technologies will help manage traffic better, cutting travel times.
Savings for drivers: Smoother traffic means less fuel consumption and lower costs.
Cleaner air: Fewer stops in traffic mean less exhaust and a healthier environment.
Increased safety: Improved detection of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists will enhance road safety.
Faster emergency response: Better traffic management will facilitate the passage of emergency vehicles.
No speed cameras: Grants cannot be used to purchase or operate automated traffic enforcement systems (e.g., speed cameras).
