| Municipal Signal Management Toolbox
There are a variety of tools that municipalities can use to manage their trafic signal assets. This site serves as a ready resource for municipalities to access some of these tools. If there are additional materials you would like to add to this site, please contact Domenic D’Andrea at (412) 391-5590 x341 or e-mail ddandrea@spcregion.org.

LED Conversions
General Information
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that uses solid-state electronics to create light. The packaging of these diodes for use in traffic signals is a technology that has become more prevalent due to its distinct advantages over incandescent lights such as:
- Savings of 80-90% in annual energy costs
- Improved visibility
- Savings of maintenance costs (LED bulbs last 5-7 times longer)
- Savings of 65-70% in total costs over a 5 year period

LED Savings Calculator
The LED Savings Calculator provides a conservative estimate of energy and maintenance savings realized after a community converts all of their traffic signals to light emitting diode. Information is also provided on approximate costs for LED conversion. Calculations are based on an average signalized intersection. Utility rates are based on information available from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. For communities with more than one service provider, rates were averaged. To obtain an estimate of LED savings, click here to view our LED Savings Calculator. Calculator will open in a new window; please be sure that you enable pop-ups.
