Local roads improvement program discretionary grants
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 has several components, including discretionary grants. Current law specifies dollar amounts that DOT must allocate in each fiscal year to each of three project types that exceed specified cost thresholds: 1) county trunk highway improvements, 2) town road improvements, and 3) municipal street improvement projects.
Under this bill, in fiscal year 2023-24 and each fiscal year thereafter, of the amount appropriated to DOT for LRIP discretionary grants, DOT must allocate 35.6 percent to county trunk highway improvements, 39.0 percent to town road improvements, and 25.4 percent to municipal street improvements.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
