Senator Baldwin Delivers Over $750,000 For Waukesha Police Department

WISCONSIN – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) announced she helped deliver over $750,000 for the City of Waukesha Police Department to invest in personnel to keep drivers safe on the road. The funding from the Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will invest in personnel dedicated to keeping commercial vehicles safe in high-risk crash corridors.

“Wisconsin’s roads do more than connect families to school and work. They are essential corridors that keep our local economies moving forward. I’m proud to deliver this funding that will keep more drivers safe as they travel and ensure Made in Wisconsin goods get to where they are going on time,” said Senator Baldwin.    

The federal funding will increase the amount of personnel dedicated to the Waukesha Police Commercial Motor Vehicle and Crash Reduction Program to improve roadway safety in the area for commercial vehicles. The award comes from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s High Priority Commercial Motor Vehicle (HP-CMV) program, which aims to support and enhance commercial motor vehicle safety initiatives, including the safe transport of hazardous materials, improving the safety of goods and passenger transportation in international trade and demonstrating new technologies to enhance commercial vehicle safety.
