WisDOT is working hard to maximize this opportunity to improve Wisconsin’s infrastructure, public safety, innovation and the future of our transportation system. IIJA funding comes to the state in two primary ways: State program grants and Discretionary Grants . WisDOT administers some of the grant programs and has resources to support local government officials to seek and apply for funding.
