What it does
The Wildlife Crossings Program Reauthorization Act of 2025 would reauthorize and expand funding for wildlife crossings under the Highway Trust Fund, authorizing $100 million annually from fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It removes the "pilot" designation from the program, establishes a 90% federal share for grants benefiting small, rural, or disadvantaged communities (with possible waiver to 100%), allocates up to 0.5% of annual funds for tribal technical assistance, and allows the Secretary to retain up to 0.5% for grant administration. The bill affects state, tribal, local, and nonprofit entities seeking funding for wildlife crossing infrastructure projects.
