TDA Statement on Governor’s Budget
MADISON – Governor Tony Evers has put forward a two-year budget proposal recognizing Wisconsin’s current transportation funding streams are insufficient to meet well-documented system needs. Wisconsin’s transportation network is interconnected and essential to the state’s economy as reflected in the plan’s key investments across the system. Transportation Development Association Executive Director Debby Jackson issued the following comment in response:
“We applaud Governor Evers continuing to take steps to address challenges facing the state’s transportation system, and we welcome the inclusion of the vital I-39/90/94 project in his budget proposal and other critical investments from local roads to public transit. Transportation investment has been an area where bipartisan agreement led to significant progress in recent budgets, and we are optimistic that will be the case again this year. We look forward to working with the administration and the legislature to build consensus around the investments necessary to keep Wisconsin moving forward.”
