The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is pleased to provide you with a copy of the 2006 edition of Transportation Budget Trends. This document is intended to serve as a resource for transportation professionals and those interested in how Wisconsin’s state and federal transportation funds are distributed across all the various transportation modes.

The Office of Policy, Budget and Finance prepares Transportation Budget Trends on a biennial basis. In

general, it presents a high level summary of transportation budget revenues for the period 1992 through

2007 and provides a look at how those revenues have been budgeted by the Legislature and the

Governor. The most recent data reflects 2005 Wisconsin Act 25, the 2005-2007 Executive Budget Act.

The first three sections of Transportation Budget Trends focus on state and federal budget revenues.

The remaining four sections focus on budgeted expenditures for state highways, local transportation

capital assistance, local transportation aids, department operations, bonding debt service, and other

state agencies. There are also appendices that provide an overview of related information.
