For the City Times

MADISON – This week local governments will receive quarterly payments totaling $99,147,647 for General Transportation Aids (GTA), Connecting Highway Aids and Expressway Policing Aids from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).

For calendar year 2020, local governments will receive an estimated $521 million in financial assistance to support transportation related projects. This is a 10 percent increase over the previous biennial budget.

Payments to Wisconsin’s 1,850 villages, towns and cities include: $95,875,797 in General Transportation Aids; $3,015,875 to municipalities eligible to receive Connecting Highway Aids; and $255,975 to Milwaukee County for Expressway Policing Aids.

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.

Quarterly payments for cities, towns and villages are sent the first Monday in January, April, July and October. County payments are made in three installments, with 25 percent of the total annual payment on the first Monday in January; 50 percent on the first Monday in July; and 25 percent on the first Monday in October.

A list of area municipalities receiving aid is available at https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/doing-bus/local-gov/astnce-pgms/highway/gta.aspx.
