Milwaukee makes up the overwhelming majority of Wisconsin`s 4th congressional district. Because of the district`s loyalty to the Democratic Party, the Democratic primary for the seat is often considered more important than the general election. The district is currently represented by Democrat Gwen Moore. The portions of the city located in Washington and Waukesha counties are in the 5th district, represented by Republican Jim Sensenbrenner. However, a Republican has not represented a significant portion of the city since 1949.

Milwaukee has three state Senate districts, each of which is composed of three Assembly districts. All 12 of the officials representing the city in the State Legislature are Democrats.

A tram system known as the Milwaukee Connector was proposed and passed by the common council, but mayor Tom Barrett vetoed the bill over problems of cost and availability. Currently, a 0.5% sales tax is being proposed for the counties of Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha by the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Transit Authority to fund a commuter rail from Kenosha to downtown Milwaukee. The tax would also be used to fund the bus systems in those counties which currently rely on property taxes [5].

The Milwaukee County Transit System provides a bus transit system. In addition, Milwaukee is home to two airfields, General Mitchell International Airport on the southern border of the city, and the smaller Timmerman Field on the N side.

U.S. Route 41, connects the city with the Fox Valley, is being considered for expansion which will qualify it for an upgrade to Interstate status. The proposed Interstate 41 would become Milwaukee`s third main Interstate.

Milwaukee is also served by three US highways. U.S. Route 18 provides a link from downtown to points west. U.S. Route 41 and U.S. Route 45 both provide N-south freeway transportation on the western side of the city.
