Brighten America using federal funds

Brightening America’s Transportation Infrastructure

We are all safer when our roads and public areas are effectively lit. LED and connected lighting reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while revitalizing local economies, engaging communities, and laying the ground for smart, data-driven capabilities that provide benefits that go far beyond illumination.

Brightening America’s Government Buildings

LED and connected lighting represent the least intrusive infrastructure investment for reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption. Connected lighting establishes a digital infrastructure that can be used to optimize lighting operations, make building maintenance more efficient, and even support goals of net zero carbon.

Brightening America’s Schools

Brighter schools are not just an investment in infrastructure, but also our future. Well-lit school learning environments are more conducive spaces for learning and growing because LED and connected lighting not only reduces an institutions energy consumption, but also supports focus, safety, and well-being.

Brightening America with Broadband Accessibility

Equitable access to broadband is critical in addressing the digital divide that exists in the US. Smart street lighting infrastructure can expand broadband networks to cover previously underserved areas while reducing the cost of delivery, avoiding the construction difficulties of trenching, and improving city aesthetics.
