State Grant Secures Five New Municipal Vehicles for Township Fleet
Feasterville Trevose, PA · October 7, 2026
Crisp, clear air greeted the sunrise this morning, but watch your speed along the local corridors as regional traffic safety patrols step up enforcement.
The Lead
Lower Southampton Township is set to replace aging equipment across its municipal operations following a newly confirmed state allocation of $461,206.
Funded through the Commonwealth Financing Authority's Local Share Account program, the grant covers the purchase of five new municipal vehicles, easing the maintenance strain on the township’s existing fleet without drawing from local property taxes. The township relies heavily on these trucks and utility units year-round for everything from roadway repair and park maintenance to severe winter snow removal and code enforcement.
With the award finalized, township administration will move the purchases into the municipal procurement queue over the coming weeks to integrate the new trucks into service before winter weather arrives.
