Governor Evers Announces $75 Million in Grants for 152 Transportation Projects

Governor Tony Evers says the state is awarding 75-million dollars in grants for 152 transportation projects across the state.  Evers said, “these newly funded projects are going to impact folks all across our state, improving safety, connectivity, and economic growth in each community.”  A total of 84 towns, 34 cities and villages and 34 counties will receive funding.  More than 16-hundred applications were received for mainly road projects.  Around 15-million dollars will go to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure projects and about one-million for public transportation.  Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said, “Governor Evers is shortchanging our local roads” by diverting money for bike paths and buses.
