Local Governments Receive $126 Million in Quarterly Transportation Aid for Roads

We wanted to be sure you are aware of funding local governments are receiving from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. These first quarterly payments for 2021, totaling $126 million, are part of the general transportation aids (GTA) financial assistance designed to support transportation related projects. It is important to know these funds are available and to ensure your local government utilizes them to cover costs of constructing, maintaining and operating roads and streets under local jurisdiction.

“These payments represent part of the cooperative work we do with local governments across the state to keep goods and services moving throughout Wisconsin,” WisDOT Secretary-designee Craig Thompson said. “We are committed to investing wisely and working hard together to come up with innovative, efficient transportation solutions.”
