Town Board Adopts Resolution Urging Statewide Transportation Funding Solution
Summary
The Town of Townsend adopted Resolution 02-2026 urging the Governor and state legislators to enact a comprehensive, sustainable transportation funding solution and will forward the resolution to the Governor’s office and state lawmakers.
The Town of Townsend board unanimously adopted Resolution 02-2026 on March 10, urging the Governor and the Wisconsin State Legislature to enact a comprehensive and sustainable transportation funding solution.
Chairperson Monica Zeller read the resolution, which notes that local units of government are bearing roughly 90% of public road maintenance burdens while state transportation aids have not kept pace with inflation and rising costs. The resolution asks state leaders to develop a funding approach that meaningfully addresses road maintenance shortfalls affecting towns like Townsend.
Clerk Linda Ziegler will transmit the adopted resolution to the Governor’s office and to state legislators, according to the minutes. The action will not itself change funding streams but records the town’s formal position and request to state policymakers.
The resolution was adopted during the regular board meeting and recorded as adopted in the minutes; no roll-call vote totals were listed in the meeting text.
