Wentling Announces Grant for Sharon Traffic Safety Improvement

February 10, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. Parke Wentling (R-Mercer) announced today that Sharon has received a $135,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Automated Red-Light Enforcement (ARLE) program.

This funding will be used to update pavement markings at five signalized and two unsignalized intersections along State Street, as well as the replacement of an outdated warning sign with an overhead flashing warning device at the intersection of E. Connelly Boulevard and Smith Avenue.

“I am pleased to know this grant will help improve safety along State Street,” said Wentling.

Pennsylvania’s ARLE program aims to improve safety at intersections with traffic signals by providing automated enforcement at locations where data shows red-light running has been an issue.
