Supporting Safe Passage of Wildlife and Fish on Our Nation’s Transportation System
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, provides an infusion of much-needed capital in our nation’s infrastructure, enabling states, counties, tribes, and cities to bring our aging roads and bridges into a state of good repair and invest in the future. Beyond “traditional” transportation infrastructure that moves people and goods, the IIJA also prioritizes the safe movement of wildlife and fish through funding for wildlife crossings and improved fish passage.
This policy brief discusses the IIJA programs that enhance safety of the road-traveling humans while supporting the natural movements of critical wildlife and fish species.
