1. Local Roads Improvement Program discretionary grant amounts
Under current law, DOT administers the Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP) to assist political subdivisions in improving seriously deteriorating local roads by reimbursing political subdivisions for certain improvements. LRIP includes an entitlement component and a discretionary component. Under the entitlement component, DOT distributes an appropriated amount to political subdivisions according to statutorily prescribed allocation percentages. Under the discretionary component, DOT allocates funds in fiscal year 2017-18 and each fiscal year thereafter as follows: $5,393,400 to fund eligible county trunk highway improvements, $5,923,600 to fund eligible town road improvements, and $3,850,400 to fund eligible municipal street improvements.
This bill increases DOT's allocations for the discretionary component of LRIP for fiscal year 2019-20 as follows: $5,569,400 to fund eligible county trunk highway improvements, $6,033,600 to fund eligible town road improvements, and $3,867,000 to fund eligible municipal street improvements. The bill increases the allocations for fiscal year 2020-21 and each fiscal year thereafter as follows: $5,688,400 to fund eligible county trunk highway improvements, $6,162,400 to fund eligible town road improvements, and $3,950,300 to fund eligible municipal street improvements.
