Transportation Aids
Under current law, DOT administers a general transportation aids program that makes aid payments to a county based on a share-of-costs formula, and to a village, city, or town (municipality) based on the greater of a share-of-costs formula or an aid rate per mile. The aid rate per mile is $2,117 for calendar year 2011 and thereafter. This bill decreases the aid rate per mile to $2,053 for calendar year 2012 and thereafter.
This bill decreases the maximum amount of aid that may be paid to counties under the program from the current limit of $104,416,800 in calendar year 2011 and thereafter to $93,975,100 in calendar year 2012 and thereafter. The bill also decreases the maximum amount of aid that may be paid to municipalities under the program from the current limit of $328,507,300 in calendar year 2011 and thereafter to $295,656,600 in calendar year 2012 and thereafter.
Also under current law, aid amounts payable to municipalities under the program may not be reduced by more than 5 percent annually and aid amounts payable to counties under the program may not be reduced by more than 2 percent annually. This bill provides that aid amounts payable to municipalities and counties under the program may not be reduced by more than 15 percent annually.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
