This bill updates and extends a federal program funding pollinator habitat plantings along highways and roadsides. It expands who can apply for grants, changes tribal consultation requirements, and increases both individual grant caps and total program funding through 2031.
State transportation departments, federal land agencies, Indian tribes, and now tax-exempt nonprofit organizations can apply for funding. Drivers and nearby communities may indirectly benefit from expanded habitat restoration.
The changes could allow larger, more numerous projects to receive federal support and give tribes with land near proposed projects a stronger role in planning.
