Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP)

Established in 1991, the Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP) assists local governments in improving seriously deteriorating county highways, town roads, and city and village streets. LRIP is a reimbursement program which may pay up to a maximum of 50% of total eligible project costs for entitlement and discretionary projects, and up to 90% of total eligible costs for supplemental projects, with the balance funded by the local unit of government.

LRIP projects are awarded every two years on a biennial budget cycle. The current biennial program cycle is from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. New project applications can be submitted beginning in late September 2025. Contact your County Highway Commissioner for details.

Summary Reports

• The Open Projects County Summary Report lists open projects per county and is updated quarterly. It includes a project's location, program type and related funding information.
• The Open Projects Statewide Summary Report lists the total number of projects that are open statewide by program type per biennium and is updated quarterly. It includes the total project costs and total reimbursement amounts.
  
• The Project Savings Report lists unassigned costs savings by county and program type. Project savings of $3,000 or more can be reallocated to another project of the same program type, unless the project is TRID, TRIS, MSID or MSIS. Project savings for TRID, TRIS, MSID or MSIS projects may not be transferred to another project and will be carried over to the next statewide biennium budget for use across Wisconsin. Project savings less than $3,000 are automatically used as carryover into the next biennium for statewide use. A minimum of $5,000 in project savings is required to create a new project. Project savings not assigned to a project by the end of each biennium will be carried over to the next statewide biennium budget.
  
• The 2024-2025 Local Roads Improvement Program Summary Report, published at the end of a biennium, provides program activity and performance information and a list of all projects funded during the biennium.
• The FY 2026 Administrative Services Report lists the reimbursement amount paid to each county for the cost of administrative services provided by county highway departments to the County Town Road Improvement Committees (CTRIC) and County Municipal Street Improvement Committees (CMSIC).
