Implement and document a pre-construction wildlife monitoring program for the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East construction project in Washington.
The goals of this study are to address the question of whether or not fences and cattle guards are effective at a) reducing the number of animal-vehicle collisions, and b) re-directing animal movement patterns through existing highway ‘crossing’ structures (e.g., road and railroad bridges and culverts). The proposed study will continue to document the location of animal-vehicle collisions, locations of highway crossings by animals both over the highway and through existing ‘crossing’ structures, and locations of attempted crossings.
Based on outcomes from the January 2008 AT THE CROSSROADS HIGHWAY 3 TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR workshop, this project will develop a series of short and long-term recommendations for mitigating wildlife movement across the Highway 3 transportation corridor, specific to individual species, local environment, and topography. This information will be provided to the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Alberta Transportation for implementation.
The objective of this project is to investigate the reliability of a microwave radio signal break-the-beam animal detection system at the TRANSCEND facility in Lewistown, Montana.
The objective of this project is to conduct a third phase of development of the Roadkill Observation Collection System, specifically to develop software, servers, and protocols that will facilitate transfer, storage and analysis of the data.
