Yes. A local municipal voice and seat on transportation planning organizations (TPOs) help prioritize state and county transportation projects in a way that benefits the community. Infrastructure dollars (sales tax and gas tax) are provided to the town for roads and streets that the municipality decides to own and repair. The distribution of gas tax is typically done using a lane-mile formula proportionate to the roads owned by the municipality. The new town can quickly repair local roads and streets with these funds. They can also supplement dollars for other intergovernmental road projects.
