Connecting Wisconsin, connecting people

Better roads. Better business.

The US 41 Project will provide many opportunities for success to those who live and work in Wisconsin. To ensure that all members of the community can participate in project opportunities, WisDOT has created a number of options for people to choose from.

The 41 Advisory Committee oversees the business goals of the project. Made up of individuals from industry, government, Tribes, and labor, the Advisory Committee’s goal is to guarantee that women, Tribes, and minorities will have equal opportunities throughout the construction project.

The 41 Business Subcommittee unbundles projects to afford smaller companies the opportunity to bid on work that would otherwise be too large for them to complete. It also tracks Disadvantaged Business Enterprise usage on the project.

The 41 Labor Subcommittee tracks labor usage and jobs on the project.

The 41 Tribal Subcommittee is the first-of-its- kind on a WisDOT project in the state. It makes recommendations on how Native Americans can participate in the project as well as understand the impacts the US 41 Project has on their Tribal communities.

The US 41 Project Outreach team reaches out to disadvantaged communities and Tribes, specifically to provide an opportunity for interested business and individuals to come and receive training that will improve the capacity of women, minorities, and Tribes to successfully participate in the US 41 Project.”
