This report questions whether the state of Wisconsin might be wasting huge sums of taxpayer money on unnecessary projects by planning to invest heavily in new roads and highway expansions that are out of sync with population and travel behavior trends in the state.

On the other hand, the state plans to focus its limited transportation funds on building new and wider highways, while neglecting repairs and other travel modes that have grown over recent years.
