Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events in Bucks County

New Medical Oncology Suite at Jefferson Bucks

My family and I were honored to be a part of the ribbon cutting for the new Medical Oncology suite at Jefferson Bucks Hospital in Langhorne earlier this week.

This state-of-the-art facility brings advanced cancer care, innovative clinical trials, and supportive resources to the Bucks County community.

My wife Kristen and I were pleased to share our story and the tremendous gratitude we have for the care we received at Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Jefferson and are thrilled that they have expanded their reach in our community.

Over $1.9 Million Awarded for Traffic Safety Improvements in our District

I am happy to announce $1.9 million in grants were awarded for traffic safety improvements in the 6th Senatorial District through the Automated Red-Light Enforcement (ARLE) program administered by Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

The three approved projects are:

Penndel Borough : $350,990 for traffic signal modernization at the intersection of Durham Road and Lincoln Highway.

Upper Southampton Township : $837,449 for traffic signal modernization along Street Road and the two closely spaced intersections of Davisville Road and Maple Avenue.

Northampton Township :$760,100 to improve pedestrian safety and operational efficiency at the intersections of Buck Road and Middle Holland Road/Stoney Ford Road, as well as Buck Road and East Village Road/West Village Road.

Pennsylvania’s ARLE program aims to improve safety at signalized intersections by providing automated enforcement at locations where data shows red-light running has been an issue. Grant funding is supplied by fines from red light violations at 38 intersections in Philadelphia. State law specifies that projects improving safety, enhancing mobility and reducing congestion can be considered for funding.

PECO Assistance and Efficiency Programs to Help Manage Energy Bills

After experiencing the coldest January in the past decade, PECO says customers need to take action to manage their bills. In addition to payment arrangements and assistance PECO provides, the company supports customers by connecting them with federal, local, and other funding that may be available to help meet their energy needs.

PECO has enhanced resources available for customers who may be having trouble paying their bill. This includes flexible payment arrangements that offer tailored payment plans, and extending payment periods for balances, where possible. The company also offers programs that can help customers manage their monthly energy bill, including Budget Billing, which averages payments over a 12-month period. In addition, PECO does not disconnect service for residential customers during the winter months. 

PECO also has a comprehensive suite of energy efficiency programs,  providing everything from discounts on products that enhance home efficiency to modern appliances and devices designed to use less energy. Information regarding these programs can be found at peco.com/WaysToSave.

PECO works closely with its community partners to connect customers with grants and assistance programs including:

• Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) – Provides grants in varying amounts based on a household’s income size, type of fuel and type of dwelling, with no pay back required. Customers can apply for LIHEAP energy assistance at peco.com/liheap or by calling 1-800-34-HELP4
• Customer Assistance Program (CAP) – A Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) that provides income-eligible customers with a fixed monthly bill so they can rely on and plan for a consistent bill amount from PECO every month.
• Low-Income Usage Reduction Program (LIURP) – Provides year-round conservation and weatherization assistance to qualified households.
• ­Matching Energy Assistance Fund (MEAF) – Funded by citizen voluntary contributions, which are matched dollar for dollar by PECO. The fund provides up to $1,250 per customer in total assistance for those who qualify.
• ­Customer Assistance and Referral Evaluation Services (CARES) – A referral and information service designed to assist customers with temporary, personal, or financial hardships that prevent the payment of their utility bill.
• Small Business Gas Grant Program: Beginning January 2025, small business customers are eligible to apply for a one-time grant of $200 to be used toward their outstanding PECO natural gas bill. The program will aid local small businesses with awards of $450,000 in grants. This program is on a first-come, first-considered basis and eligible applicants should apply now at peco.com/gasgrant.   

Customers can contact PECO at 800-494-4000 to discuss payment arrangements or visit peco.com/BillSupport to learn more about their bill, energy assistance programs, and more.
