For calendar year 2022, local governments will receive more than $505 million in general transportation aids (GTA) financial assistance to support transportation-related projects, a 2 percent increase over calendar year 2021 allocations. GTA and other WisDOT Local Programs combined make up almost one-third of the state transportation budget.
“The work we do with local governments is essential to an efficient and resilient transportation network that delivers from the first to the last mile,” WisDOT Secretary Craig Thompson said. “Thank you to all the local government officials who work together with us to make good investments that improve safety, economic opportunity, and quality of life.”

- Connecting Highway Aids - $3,015,874.39 in CHA to 116 eligible municipalities
- Expressway Policing Aids - $255,975.00 to Milwaukee County
General Transportation Aids help cover the costs of constructing, maintaining, and operating roads and streets under local jurisdiction. Connecting Highway Aids reimburse municipalities for maintenance and traffic control of certain state highways within municipalities.
