General transportation aids
Under current law, DOT administers a general transportation aids program that makes aid payments to a county based on a share-of-costs formula, and to a municipality based on the greater of a share-of-costs formula or an aid rate per mile. The aid rate per mile is $2,734 for 2025. This bill increases the aid rate per mile to $2,816 for 2026 and $2,901 for 2027 and thereafter.
Currently, the maximum annual amount of aid that may be paid to counties under the program is $132,276,700. The bill maintains this amount for 2025 and increases this amount to $136,245,000 for 2026 and $140,332,400 for 2027 and thereafter. Currently, the maximum annual amount of aid that may be paid to municipalities under the program is $415,116,200. The bill maintains this amount for 2025 and increases this amount to $427,569,700 for 2026 and $440,396,800 for 2027 and thereafter.
