Some federal dollars are coming to Manitowoc County to help improve road safety.
$6.6 million in federal funding has been tabbed for four Wisconsin counties and three cities through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for targeted safety improvements and to develop comprehensive plans for long-term investments.
Manitowoc County is set to receive $200,000 to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan for the countywide roadway network.
This will include safety analysis, a high-injury network, stakeholder engagement, policy review, strategy prioritization, performance measures, and a final Action Plan to address fatal and serious injury crashes involving all roadway users.
Also receiving funding are St. Croix, Waukesha, and Marathon Counties, and the Cities of Janesville, Wauwatosa, and Shawano.
Senator Tammy Baldwin said of the funding, “Our communities know their roads best, and that’s why I fought to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to bring investments like these back home to Wisconsin. I’m proud to deliver this funding to reduce accidents and make our streets safer for everyone.”
