Hotspot Analyses for Large Mammal-Vehicle Collisions in California

Project #: 4W6693
Start Date: 06/02/2017
End Date: 07/31/2018
ABSTRACT:

This project aims to conduct a statewide hotspot analysis of wildlife-vehicle collisions in the state of California. The results of the analyses will help the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) make informed decisions regarding future implementation of mitigation measures for wildlife along highways. The goals are to improve human safety, reduce unnatural deaths of large mammals, and maintain or improve habitat connectivity for wildlife. This project will be based on the methods developed from a previous pilot study conducted by WTI called, “Procedures and Tools for Wildlife-Vehicle Collision Hotspot Analyses; Using Caltrans District 10 as an Example.”

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this project is to conduct a statewide hotspot analysis of wildlife-vehicle collisions in the state of California.
