Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), announced that counties and municipalities across the state received over $141 million in the first quarterly payments for 2025 for General Transportation, Connecting Highway, and Expressway Policing Aids. The funding goes to local governments to construct, repair, and improve local streets and roads, ensuring Wisconsinites have the reliable and strong local infrastructure in communities across our state. For calendar year 2025, local governments will receive more than $540 million in General Transportation Aids for financial help to support transportation-related projects. The 2023-25 budget signed by Gov. Evers provided a two percent increase for general transportation aids for municipalities and counties in both calendar years: 2024 and 2025. The investments in the 2023-25 state budget resulted in the largest amount of funding for the program in the state’s history, and total funding for all local programs makes up almost one-third of the state transportation budget. Locally, the City of Marinette will receive $127,368.57 with $24,166.94 for connecting highway aids while Marinette County will receive $326,886.04. Various Towns, villages, and cities throughout Marinette County also received funds.
