Inhofe, Ranking Environment & Public Works Cmte Environment & Public Works Cmte U.S. Senate U.S. Senate Hon Max Baucus, Chair Hon David Vitter, Ranking EPW Transportation & Infrastructure Subc EPW Transportation & Infrastructure Subc U.S. Senate U.S. Senate Dear Chairman Boxer and Subcommittee Chair Baucus, and Ranking Members Inhofe and Vitter: The Pollinator Partnership (P2) urges the Environment and Public Works Committee to incorporate provisions of the “Highways Bettering the Economy and Environment Act” into the transportation reauthorization bill. Legislation (H.R. 2381) introduced in the House are highlights are attached . We had been exploring introduction of a similar version in the Senate when the Committee starting moving forward with reauthorization. We believe this “win-win” approach will help cash-strapped states reduce roadside maintenance costs, while providing habitat for pollinators and achieving other benefits. The attached group letter in support of the Highways BEE Act includes a diverse array of 26 national organizations and companies, nearly 100 regional and local organizations and companies, 43 eminent researchers and more than 1,000 individuals from almost every State. P2 (www.pollinator.org) is the largest organization dedicated exclusively to the problems and potential of pollinating animals, a critical factor in both agriculture and ecosystem health. P2’s mission is to catalyze stewardship of biodiversity. P2 places a high priority on efforts to protect and enhance bees and other animal pollinators and their habitats in both working and wild lands. P2 facilitates the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC), an ad hoc, tri-national collaboration involving scientists, stakeholders and agency officials working together on consensus-based efforts for the benefit of pollinators. We would like to submit this letter and attachments for the hearing record. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully Submitted,

HIGHWAYS BETTERING THE ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT ACT (Updated November 26, 2011)

The undersigned support H.R. 2381, the Highways Bettering the Economy and Environment Act (Highways BEE Act). The Highways BEE Act proposes significant economic and conservation benefits that can be achieved through integrated vegetation management (IVM) practices on Federal and state highway right-of-ways (ROWs) managed by State Departments of Transportation (DOTs). These areas represent about 17 million acres of opportunity where significant reductions in mowing and maintenance can reduce costs for cash-strapped State DOTs. Reductions in roadside mowing, combined with enhanced plantings of native forbs and grasses, can provide economic benefits, reduced carbon emissions, and critical habitat for pollinators, ground nesting birds and other small wildlife. Pollinators, such as bees, birds, bats, and butterflies, are essential to healthy ecosystems and are vital partners in American agriculture. Pollinators are suffering drastic population loss, due in part to loss of habitat. In addition, neighboring agricultural lands and wildlife ecosystems will benefit from improved pollination services. This legislation supports and builds on innovative IVM efforts in a growing number of State DOT’s by directing the Secretary of Transportation to use existing authorities, programs and funding to encourage and facilitate efforts by States and other transportation ROWs managers, to adopt IVM practices, including reduced mowing and enhanced native plantings that provide multiple fiscal, safety and aesthetic benefits while also promoting habitat and migratory corridors for pollinators, ground nesting birds and other small wildlife. For further information contact Tom Van Arsdall, Pollinator Partnership Public Affairs Director at tva@pollinator.org or 703-509-4746.
