Town Board Resolution Supporting a Comprehensive and Sustainable
Transportation Funding Solution
Town of Peshtigo, Marinette County
Resolution #202602-01
WHEREAS, local units of government in Wisconsin own and maintain approximately 90% of the
public road miles in the state, including county highways, town roads, and city and village streets;
and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s economy – rooted in agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism – relies on
a safe, reliable, and well-maintained transportation network; and
WHEREAS, local governments greatly appreciate the one-time infusions of General Purpose
Revenue, primarily sales and income taxes, and other revenue provided in recent state budgets,
which have enabled the initiation and continuation of the successful and popular Local Roads
Improvement Program Supplemental (LRIP-S) and Agricultural Roads Improvement Program
(ARIP); and
WHEREAS, despite modest increases from the state over the years, transportation aids to local
governments remain insufficient to keep pace with inflation and rising construction costs, leaving
many communities funded below 2000 levels in real dollars; and
WHEREAS, local governments throughout Wisconsin continue to struggle to perform even
routine maintenance, pavement preservation, and safety improvements, resulting in deteriorating
roads and bridges; and
WHEREAS, the inaugural inventory and assessment of small bridges between 6 and 20 feet found
about 10% of the nearly 17,000 structures to be in poor or severe condition; and
WHEREAS, levy limits and other fiscal constraints prevent local governments from independently
filling the funding gap created by inadequate state transportation aids; and
WHEREAS, absent sustainable state funding, many communities have been forced to address their
shortfalls by significantly increasing borrowing, deferring essential projects, or imposing local
vehicle registration (“wheel”) taxes; and
WHEREAS, Wisconsin motorists currently pay among the lowest transportation user fees in the
Midwest, while neighboring states and dozens of others nationwide have enacted long-term
revenue measures to keep their transportation systems competitive; and

WHEREAS, Wisconsin is increasingly relying on General Purpose Revenues to make needed
investments, potentially pitting transportation against other vital services, such as education; and
WHEREAS, continued lack of growing, dedicated, and predictable revenue places Wisconsin at a
growing economic disadvantage by threatening the efficiency of freight movement, the safety of
travelers, and the attractiveness of our state to businesses and residents; and
WHEREAS, both Wisconsin’s aging Interstate highway system—largely constructed in the 1950s
and 1960s—and our extensive network of state and local roads require predictable, adequate, and
sustainable funding to meet current and future needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Peshtigo Town Board strongly urges the
Governor of Wisconsin and the State Legislature to enact a comprehensive, sustainable
transportation funding solution that:
1. Provides adequate and reliable revenue growth for the efficient long-term planning and
execution of state and local transportation programs;
2. Includes responsible and prudent use of General Purpose Revenue and bonding;
3. Adjusts any new and existing transportation user fees and other revenue mechanisms to
sustain purchasing power in order to maintain and improve Wisconsin’s transportation
infrastructure; and
4. Ensures transportation continues to deliver for Wisconsin by adequately funding
reconstruction, preservation, and safety investments on the state and local systems.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this
resolution to the office of Governor Tony Evers, Senator Mary Felzkowski and Representative
Jeffrey Mursau.
