AI Summary
This bill establishes a new local traffic calming grant program administered by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) with $60 million in funding from the general fund. The program will provide grants to counties, cities, villages, towns, and federally recognized Indian tribes or bands to fund infrastructure projects aimed at reducing vehicle speeds. These projects must be eligible under the federal transportation alternatives program and could include elements like road design changes, speed bumps, narrowed lanes, or other physical modifications that naturally slow down traffic. The DOT will be responsible for developing the application process, creating evaluation criteria for grant applications, and determining how the grants will be awarded. By creating this program, the bill seeks to improve road safety by implementing infrastructure solutions that can help reduce vehicle speeds in local communities.
