Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and transportation officials recently announced $99.1 million in transportation aid has been distributed to municipalities across the state.
This funding represents the second quarterly transportation payment local government agencies received in 2021. In January, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation issued $131.4 million in funding to support local transportation purposes.
