Lochner Leads the Way: Navigating Funding Opportunities for Wildlife Crossings and Beyond

Vehicle-wildlife collisions continue to present safety and environmental challenges, particularly in Kentucky where busy roadways intersect critical habitats. Recent federal efforts, including the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program, are opening new funding avenues to help agencies throughout Kentucky in addressing these issues through innovative infrastructure solutions.

Over the last decade, Lochner has supported agencies nationwide in securing nearly $300 million in grant funding for a range of transportation and infrastructure projects. Our team helps clients navigate the complexities of federal, state, and local grant programs by supporting projects focused on wildlife crossings, roadway safety, active transportation, and public transportation.

In Kentucky, we are actively partnering with state and local agencies on wildlife crossing projects that balance safety, environmental restoration, and community engagement. Through a collaborative approach that integrates data analysis, stakeholder input, and regulatory expertise, we help shape grant applications that align technical details with funding priorities.

Beyond grant application development, Lochner provides ongoing support in managing grant compliance, reporting requirements, and aligning funding strategies with long-term capital plans. As the funding landscape evolves, Lochner remains committed to helping agencies across the country access resources that improve safety, connectivity, and sustainability.
