Virgin Islands funds roads and government operations
The law provides $12 million from the Transportation Trust Fund for fiscal year 2027: October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles gets $1 million for operations, and the General Fund gets $6 million. Public Works gets $5 million for road repairs and maintenance: $2 million for St. Thomas and St. John, and $3 million for St. Croix. The law overrides existing Transportation Trust Fund spending restrictions to allow these uses. This is one-year funding for government operations and services, not direct payments to households.
