This multi-phase project seeks to facilitate the standardization of wildlife-vehicle collision (WVC) data so the National Park Service (NPS), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and their stakeholders are able to collect, store, share, and retrieve data as it is needed for their organization. This phase will focus on customizing the ROaDs Survey Template to fit the specific needs of our non-DOI partners – tribes, states, local government, non-governmental organizations, citizen scientists, etc. This will include changing the species list and adapting the survey questions to meet their research goals. The WTI Team will also teach our partners how to change their survey questions in the future.

Benefits: This project will benefit any agency that wants to set up the ROaDS survey. We have currently had discussions with Nevada DOT and Indiana Department of Natural Resources. We have been contacted by North Dakota DOT, New Mexico DOT, and North Carolina DOT, but have not had a meeting with them yet.
