The city of Cleveland is looking to upgrade technology on traffic lights, working to make intersections safer for not just first responders, but everyone using them.
The city received $1.8 million in federal money from the SMART grant, which is meant to take existing tech that is not widespread and expand it to make transit systems work better.
In Cleveland, the money will go towards putting devices on traffic lights to alert them to first responders, redirecting traffic, and clearing a path to an emergency call.“In general, we’re really interested in eliminating fatalities and serious injuries from vehicle crashes,” said Mersmann.
