Competitive grants will be awarded through the program for a wide variety of low-cost projects, including improvements to traffic signals, roadway improvements, signage and other initiatives to improve public safety.

Applications will be accepted until June 30. Applications, program guidelines and other helpful information is available here.

In an effort to assist local law enforcement, the Gaming Act provides funding for the Local Law Enforcement Grant Program. The program receives $2 million annually and is administered by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board.

The program provides grants to local law enforcement agencies to investigate violations of and enforce the laws relating to unlawful gambling.
