The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program is now available for Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 in the amount of $111.85 million. The program helps carry out projects by certain Federal, Tribal, State, and local governments, including municipalities, counties, and others that reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and improve habitat connectivity for terrestrial and aquatic species.
The funding may be used for construction and non-construction projects and the maximum share of project costs that may be funded with grant funds will typically be 80 percent of project costs, as is standard for Federal-aid projects.
Webinars that describe the program and the application process as outlined in the NOFO will be scheduled soon. These webinars will be recorded and posted on the web. Please check the webpage for future webinars and more information.
The NOFO is available here. The deadline for applications is 11:59 PM EST on August 1, 2023. Grant applications must be submitted through Grants.gov.
