National Center for Rural Road Safety webinar: Road Ecology – Safety for Four-Legged Pedestrians
February 16, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
| FreeThe National Center for Rural Road Safety and NLTAPA Safety Work Group are co-hosting this FREE, 1.5-hour online webinar. Road ecology has made substantial advances over the last few decades. Our knowledge has increased and mitigation measures to reduce the impacts of roads and traffic on wildlife are now widespread and implemented regularly. In many cases, the mitigation measures address human safety through reducing collisions with large mammals, provide safe crossing opportunities for wildlife, and it can even make economic sense to implement these mitigation measures. With funding for wildlife provisions, research, and training recently being added in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), let’s dive into a discussion on wildlife-vehicle collision mitigation.
