Wisconsin Administrative Code Department of Transportation
Here’s an overview of the Wisconsin Administrative Code managed by the Department of Transportation (WisDOT):
🚦 Structure & Access
The Wisconsin Administrative Code Trans (Trans‑1 through Trans‑512) covers a comprehensive range of topics, including transit programs, highways, bridges, motor vehicle regulations, permits, road signage, environmental standards, motor carriers, licensing, equipment, inspections, and more (regulations.justia.com).
You can explore specific chapters via the state’s official legislative site, such as Trans 305 for vehicle equipment, Trans 2 for enhanced mobility grants, Trans 215 for local high-cost bridge projects, etc. (regulations.justia.com).
📘 Sample Chapter Summaries
Trans 2 (Enhanced Mobility for Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities) defines program administration, purpose, and scope per s. 85.22 Stats (law.cornell.edu).
Trans 305 sets minimum standards for vehicle equipment—e.g., lamps, brakes, reflectors (wisconsindot.gov).
Trans 215 outlines definitions and rules for “local high‑cost bridges” (non-state trunk bridges costing above $5 million) (law.cornell.edu).
📚 Related Statutes & Resources
WisDOT’s code works alongside relevant Wisconsin statutes—Chapters 82 through 86 cover local and state highways and transportation topics, particularly Chapter 85 which defines the DOT’s structure and powers (wilawlibrary.gov).
Access management and real-estate regulations on state highways also rely on administrative code provisions (wisconsindot.gov).
