Component

The Utah Department of Transportation Wildlife Quality Improvement Team found domestic animal-vehicle collisions to be as significant as wildlife animal-vehicle collisions and recommended the development of this toolkit. A list of “Hot Spots” for Utah domestic and wildlife animal-vehicle collisions are included as well as GIS maps indicating these areas. The objective of this toolkit is to contain a summary of mitigation measures used in Utah, other states, North America and abroad regarding animal-vehicle collisions that can be used consistently throughout the Department regardless of the current phase of a project (Long Range Planning, Concept, Scoping, Preconstruction, Construction, Maintenance, etc.) to reduce the number of animal-vehicle collisions. This toolkit is to be updated as needed to reflect current practices.
