House T&I said H.R. 6500 continued federal surface transportation programs through December 11, and that passing a multi-year surface transportation reauthorization bill before the end of Congress remained a priority. It said the committee approved H.R. 8870 on May 22 and looked forward to moving it through the legislative process.

H.R. 6078 would amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act by striking references to the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program and replacing them with a continuing wildlife crossings program, and would authorize $200,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2031.
Assessments
The promised outcome has not been enacted. The Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program remains a time-limited pilot in current federal law, and H.R. 6078, which would convert it into a continuing program, has only been introduced and referred to committee. H.R. 8870 includes wildlife-crossings reauthorization language and was approved by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, but it has not become law. Dina Titus is a cosponsor of H.R. 6078, so she receives an effort badge for a concrete same-term legislative attempt, but not delivery credit.
