TX SB2892

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department must develop a wildlife corridor action plan in consultation with the Texas Department of Transportation to recommend and prioritize wildlife crossing projects that promote driver safety and wildlife connectivity

The plan must identify wildlife corridors, barriers to wildlife movement, high-risk vehicle collision areas, critical habitats for rare or endangered species, migration routes, and land with existing human barriers like roads, dams, power lines, and pipelines

Each recommended project in the plan must include descriptions of proposed wildlife crossing infrastructure or mitigation techniques to meet plan goals, along with maps detailing high-priority areas

The department must submit the completed plan to the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house by December 1, 2026

The Parks and Wildlife Department must publish the plan on its website and provide periodic updates on the implementation of recommended wildlife corridor projects
