Wildlife Crossing List for Infrastructure Funding
Collisions between motorists and wildlife cause more than 200 human fatalities and over 26,000 injuries each year, at an annual cost to Americans of more than $8 billion. Research shows that the combination of wildlife crossing structures and fencing to guide animals over or under our nation’s highways are highly effective, reducing wildlife- vehicle collisions by up to 97%.
The projects in the document below have support from their respective states and would create jobs, aid local economies and create smart infrastructure to protect wildlife and people.
This list is a representative sample and will be regularly updated.
