Assembly Bill 434 establishes a local traffic calming grant program administered by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in Wisconsin. The program is designed to provide funding for infrastructure projects aimed at reducing vehicular speed in various political subdivisions and federally recognized Indian tribes or bands. The bill allocates $60,000,000 for this initiative, which will be funded through a new appropriation created under section 20.395 (2) (ja) of the statutes.

The bill outlines that the DOT will be responsible for developing the grant program, including setting application requirements and evaluation criteria for awarding grants. The new section 85.024 of the statutes specifies that the grants will support projects eligible for funding under the federal transportation alternatives program, ensuring that local governments and tribes can implement effective traffic calming measures.
