Colorado Wildlife Federation On November 18, 2025, Representatives Ryan Zinke (R-MT) and Don Beyer (D-VA) introduced a bi-partisan bill to reauthorize the Wildlife Crossings Program. The bill would authorize funding through 2031. Colorado and many other states have received grants under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This important Program was developed to reduce highway collisions between vehicles and wildlife, saving lives, improving road safety, and safeguarding wildlife migration corridors. For example, it enabled Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to design and construct the overpass project on I-25 south of Castle Rock, at the Greenland interchange. CDOT provided the required match. Colorado Parks and Wildlife confers with CDOT on highway crossing projects. https://www.codot.gov/projects/i25greenlandwildlifeoverpass The bill first will need to be heard by the House Transportation Committee.
