Abstract:

As climate change continues to threaten wildlife resiliency, measures must be taken to ensure animals can migrate for their survival. The collision mitigation measures examined in this study will help to improve climate sustainability and simultaneously reduce crashes that can lead to property damage as well as driver injury and death throughout the country. Consideration of wildlife is increasingly becoming a part of the transportation planning process. Enhancing habitat connectivity is key to improving the safety of people and animals as well as saving taxpayer dollars. The Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Program provides an opportunity to collaborate with transportation stakeholders around the world to help solve transportation problems like wildlife-vehicle collisions. By pooling funds and expertise, transportation agencies are able to develop innovative solutions at a lower cost.
