Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution supports and approves the City of Madison’s submission of an application to the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) for the FY 2023-2024 Advanced Transportation Technologies and Innovative Mobility Deployment (ATTIMD) Program (also known as the ATTAIN Program) discretionary grant, the acceptance of the grant if awarded, and authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to enter a grant agreement with USDOT or its designee if awarded the grant. The requested grant amount is up to $7 million* and maybe lower for better competitiveness. The project is in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and project cost related to the local match will be split (tentatively 90 percent by WisDOT, 10 percent by City of Madison) based on historic projects. The 2025 Traffic Engineering Division budget request would include the required matching funds should the proposed grant be awarded to the City of Madison.
*A previous fiscal note listed the requested amount up to $5 million. Fiscal note updated 1/18/24 to reflect updated project cost information.
