Oregon DOT’s Wildlife Crossing Corridors
Wildlife crossings protect both animals and humans.
The Federal Highway Administration recently launched its Wildlife Crossings Program, approving $350 million for wildlife crossing projects to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and improve habitat connectivity. The Oregon Department of Transportation has set a successful wildlife corridor program, reducing 86% of wildlife-vehicle collisions. In this episode of AASHTO's ETAP Podcast, Cidney Bowman, Wildlife Passage Program Coordinator with Oregon DOT, speaks on the state’s work.
