Governor Evers and WisDOT Announce Second Quarterly Payments for Transportation Aids

Tuesday, April 21st, 2026 -- 11:00 AM

Gov. Tony Evers, together with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), announced counties and municipalities across the state received more than $117 million in the second quarterly payments for 2026 General Transportation, Connecting Highway, and Expressway Policing Aids to repair, maintain, and improve local roads and connecting highways.

The funding was provided by the 2025-27 Biennial Budget signed into law by Gov. Evers last summer. For calendar year 2026, local governments will receive more than $570 million in GTA financial assistance to support transportation-related projects.

All told, municipalities will receive $33.2 million more over the next two fiscal years and counties will receive nearly $10 million more over the next two fiscal years. Total funding for all local programs makes up almost one-third of the state transportation budget.

The second quarter payments, delivered in April, totaled $117,556,194 and included:  

  • General Transportation Aids (GTA): $108,541,419 to local units of government;
  • Connecting Highway Aids (CHA): $4,258,799 to 116 eligible municipalities; and
  • Expressway Policing Aids (EPA): $4,755,975 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.

Expressway Policing Aids help the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office with the costs of patrolling expressways within the county. Quarterly payments for cities, villages, and towns 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.
