The proposed RIReady Municipal Road Fund Program in Gov. Dan McKee’s fiscal year 2024 budget would make available $20 million for bridge, road, and sidewalk projects on locally maintained city and town roads.
Local communities often struggle to reach enough capital improvement funds in their budgets to maintain transportation infrastructure properly. The program would provide 33 percent of project costs.
Of the $20 million, $15 million will be divided equally among cities and towns, with the remaining $5 million distributed proportionally to municipalities based on miles of roads.
