Webinar: 4 December 2023 4:00pm – 5:00pm
In the Transport Secretary’s “Plan for Drivers”, an extra £70m of funding was announced to make traffic signals more efficient.
This is made up of a £30m Traffic Signals Obsolescence Grant (TSOG), and includes £10 million to be shared between all English local highway and transport authorities outside of London, and £20 million of targeted funding which will be awarded to areas with particular obsolescence issues through challenge processes opening this autumn.
The remaining two grants are the £20 million Green Light Fund (GLF) to tune up traffic signals to better reflect current traffic conditions and get traffic flowing and the £20 million Intelligent Traffic Management Fund (ITMF) to deploy advanced technology for traffic signals, making use of emerging technologies to optimise traffic flow and balance traffic across city centres. These will also be awarded following challenge competitions open to English local highway and transport authorities outside of London.
The ITMF application process will be open between April and June 2024.
During this webinar, open to local authority representatives, Darren Capes explained the challenge application process and answered questions in relation to the TSOG and GLF grants.
