The WCPP seeks to fund projects that will reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) and improve habitat connectivity for terrestrial and aquatic species. FHWA will advertise a NOFO for up to $80 million in fiscal year 2026 funds, plus any funds available from prior fiscal years (FY 2022-2025). • Responding to the collection is voluntary and is required to obtain or retain a benefit. • Responders are a State Department of Transportation (State DOT) or an equivalent of those agencies; Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) (as defined in 23 U.S.C. 134(b)); unit of local government; regional transportation authority; special purpose district or public authority with a transportation function, including a port authority; an Indian tribe (as defined in section 207(m)(1)), including a Native village and a Native Corporation (as those terms are defined in section 3 of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1602)); a Federal Land Management Agency (FLMA); or a group of any of the beforementioned entities. • The information collection is a grant application, application template, grant agreement, and reporting during project management. • The information will be collected once. • Information relevant to the application is detailed in the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program (WCPP) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), and any reporting requirements agreed to by Grants recipients. • The information will be received by the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) • The purpose of the collection is to receive information relevant to evaluating applications for WCPP grant, per the NOFO, and providing information for reporting requirements agreed to by recipients of the grants.
