This website is a dynamic part of a National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored research project titled; 'Evaluation
of the Use and Effectiveness of Wildlife Crossings.'
This site is to be
used as a resource for those interested in mitigating the effects
of roads on wildlife. It is a central place to learn of the latest
mitigation methods used throughout North America. These mitigation
methods are aimed at both the drivers of vehicles and the animals
that may enter the roadway.
Resources
within this site focus on ecological implications of roads and mitigation,
and the safety aspect of animal-vehicle collisions. The site was
created as a part of this NCHRP sponsored project through the work
of 9 ecologists and engineers, and one web developer. It is also
the compilation of the work of transportation professionals and biologists,
engineers, planners, researchers, activists, and consultants across
North America. It is for these people and others that this website
was created and who we are indebted to for their support.
