SEC. 1620. WILDLIFE CROSSINGS. 
(a) IN GENERAL.— 
(1) OBLIGATION REQUIREMENT.—For each of fis-
cal years 2022 through 2025, of the amounts appor-
tioned to a State under paragraph (1) of section 
104(b) of title 23, United States Code, each State 
shall obligate amounts distributed to such State under 
subsection (b) for projects and strategies that reduce 
vehicle-caused wildlife mortality related to, or to re-
store and maintain connectivity among terrestrial or 
aquatic habitats affected by, a transportation facility 
otherwise eligible for assistance under section 119 of 
title 23, United States Code. 
(2) TOTAL AMOUNT.—The total amount to be ob-
ligated by all States under paragraph (1) shall equal 
$75,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2022 through 
2025. 
(b) DISTRIBUTION.—Each State’s share of the amount 
described under subsection (a)(2) shall be determined by 
multiplying the amount described under such subsection by 
the ratio that— 
(1) the amount apportioned in the previous fis-
cal year to the State under section 104 of title 23, 
United States Code; bears to 
(2) the total amount of funds apportioned to all 
States in the previous fiscal year.

(c) STATE FLEXIBILITY.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—A State may opt out of the 
obligation requirement described under this section if

the State has inadequate needs to justify the expendi-
ture not later than 30 days prior to apportionments 
being made for any fiscal year.

authority under paragraph (1) may use the funds de-
scribed under this section for any purpose described

STRUCTURE STUDY. 
(a) CLIMATE RESILIENT TRANSPORTATION INFRA-
STRUCTURE STUDY.—Not later than 180 days after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation 
shall enter into an agreement with the Transportation Re-
search Board of the National Academies to conduct a study 
of the actions needed to ensure that Federal agencies are 
taking into account current and future climate conditions 
in planning, designing, building, operating, maintaining, 
investing in, and upgrading any federally funded transpor-
tation infrastructure investments.

(b) METHODOLOGIES.—In conducting the study, the 
Transportation Research Board shall build on the meth-
odologies examined and recommended in— 
(1) the 2018 report issued the American Society 
of Civil Engineers, titled ‘‘Climate-Resilient Infra-
structure: Adaptive Design and Risk Management’’; 
and 
(2) the report issued by the California Climate- 
Safe Infrastructure Working Group, titled ‘‘Paying it 
Forward: The Path Toward Climate-Safe Infrastruc-
ture in California’’. 
(c) CONTENTS OF STUDY.—The study shall include 
specific recommendations regarding the following: 
(1) Integrating scientific knowledge of projected 
climate change impacts, and other relevant data and 
information, into Federal infrastructure planning, 
design, engineering, construction, operation and 
maintenance. 
(2) Addressing critical information gaps and 
challenges. 
(3) Financing options to help fund climate-resil-
ient infrastructure. 
(4) A platform or process to facilitate commu-
nication between climate scientists and other experts

evant experts. 
(5) A stakeholder process to engage with rep-
resentatives of State, local, tribal and community 
groups. 
(6) A platform for tracking Federal funding of 
climate-resilient infrastructure. 
(d) CONSIDERATIONS.—In carrying out the study, the 
Transportation Research Board shall determine the need for 
information related to climate resilient transportation in-
frastructure by considering— 
(1) the current informational and institutional 
barriers to integrating projected infrastructure risks 
posed by climate change into federal infrastructure 
planning, design, engineering, construction, operation 
and maintenance; 
(2) the critical information needed by engineers, 
planners and those charged with infrastructure up-
grades and maintenance to better incorporate climate 
change risks and impacts over the lifetime of projects; 
(3) how to select an appropriate, adaptive engi-
neering design for a range of future climate scenarios 
as related to infrastructure planning and investment; 
(4) how to incentivize and incorporate systems 
thinking into engineering design to maximize the ben-

efits of multiple natural functions and emissions re-
duction, as well as regional planning; 
(5) how to take account of the risks of cascading 
infrastructure failures and develop more holistic ap-
proaches to evaluating and mitigating climate risks; 
(6) how to ensure that investments in infrastruc-
ture resilience benefit all communities, including com-
munities of color, low-income communities and tribal 
communities that face a disproportionate risk from 
climate change and in many cases have experienced 
long-standing unmet needs and underinvestment in 
critical infrastructure; 
(7) how to incorporate capital assessment and 
planning training and techniques, including a range 
of financing options to help local and State govern-
ments plan for and provide matching funds; and 
(8) how federal agencies can track and monitor 
federally funded resilient infrastructure in a coordi-
nated fashion to help build the understanding of the 
cost-benefit of resilient infrastructure and to build the 
capacity for implementing resilient infrastructure.
