Reauthorizing Wildlife Crossings Program: $500 Million and Rural Support.

This Act reauthorizes and improves the federal wildlife crossings program, authorizing $100 million annually from 2027 through 2031. A key change is the increased Federal share of funding (up to 90%, or 100% in hardship cases) for projects benefiting small, rural, and disadvantaged communities. The Act also removes the term 'pilot' from the program's description.
