Funding for Wildlife Migration Corridors and Reducing Vehicle Collisions.
This Act establishes new grant and research programs to fund projects aimed at improving habitat quality and safety along migration routes for big game, such as deer and elk. The goal is to reduce human-wildlife vehicle collisions and enhance conservation efforts, while strictly protecting private property rights and existing agricultural practices. Funding will be available to states, tribes, non-profits, and local governments from 2025 through 2030.
Key points
A new grant program offers competitive funding (up to 90% Federal share) for projects like road modifications, fence adjustments, and habitat conservation to secure wildlife movement areas.
The law explicitly ensures that participation is voluntary and cannot require non-voluntary changes to farming, forestry, mining, or restrict public access for hunting and recreation.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will continue mapping migration corridors, with strict rules to protect sensitive data, prevent poaching, and safeguard private property information.
