As governor, Tony Evers said he would invest funding into fixing local roads across Wisconsin.
Under the budget signed by the governor, nearly $400 million in new money will be collected towards road maintenance.
The money would come from a GOP-backed plan to increase title fees people pay when they buy vehicles. The fees would increase by $95 going, from $69.50 to 164.50.
Republicans also sought to raise the annual registration fee by $10 for cars, which will rise from $75 to $85. For light trucks, the fee will increase by $25 going from $75 to $100.
Evers originally campaigned on raising the gas tax by 8 cents over two years as well as increase fees on semi trucks by 27%, but Republicans rejected the proposals in the budget.
Regardless, Evers did not give a specific amount of funding or promise a particular way of funding roads in his campaign promise to invest more in local roads.
