The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program (WCPP) 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.
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) will soon schedule webinars that overview WCPP and the application process as outlined in the NOFO. These webinars will be recorded and posted on the FHWA Wildlife Crossing Program webpage for prospective applicants. Please check the WWCP webpage for future webinars and more information.
Grant applications must be submitted through Grants.gov website. The deadline for applications is 11:59 pm ET on August 1, 2023.
