Bill Summary
Under this bill, the Department of Transportation must develop and administer a local traffic calming grant program under which DOT awards grants to political subdivisions and Indian tribes or bands for infrastructure projects designed to reduce the speed of vehicular traffic. The bill provides $60,000,000 for the program. For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new local traffic calming grants program administered by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The program will provide $60 million from the general fund to counties, cities, villages, towns, and federally recognized Indian tribes to fund infrastructure projects designed to reduce vehicular traffic speeds. These projects must be eligible for funding under the federal transportation alternatives program. The department will develop application requirements and establish evaluation criteria for awarding grants. The appropriation is designated as continuing, meaning the funds can be used over multiple years. The bill creates new sections in the state statutes (specifically sections 20.395(2)(ja) and 85.024) to formally establish the grant program and its funding mechanism. The primary goal appears to be supporting local governments in implementing traffic safety improvements that can help slow down vehicles in their communities.
