Gov. Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) on Monday announced that counties and municipalities across the state received more than $174 million for General Transportation, Connecting Highway, and Expressway Policing Aids to help repair, maintain and improve local roads and highways.
This announcement comes as earlier this month, Gov. Evers signed the 2025-27 Biennial Budget, which invests in the state’s transportation infrastructure with $1.1 billion in new funding for key transportation investments. A 3% increase in the General Transportation Aids program in calendar years 2026 and 2027 will provide municipalities with $33.2 million more over the biennium and counties with nearly $10 million over the biennium.

-
General Transportation Aids — $169,917,469.10 to local units of government;
Advertisement -
