Boosts funding for wildlife crossings, making roads safer for animals and people.
This bill would allow for $200 million to be set aside each year for five years to build and improve wildlife crossings like overpasses and tunnels. It would make the current "pilot" program permanent and give special support to Native American tribes for these projects. This aims to reduce animal-vehicle collisions and protect wildlife.
Today, there is a "pilot" wildlife crossings program with existing funding rules. If this bill becomes law, the program would become permanent. Also, $200,000,000 would be allowed to be set aside each year from the government's budget year 2027 through 2031. For Native American tribes, the federal government would cover 100 percent of project costs. Dedicated funds would also be available for technical assistance to help them access the program.
