Management Practices Priority

Develop transportation facilities that utilize longer bridges at streams and wetlands to minimize impacts (and thereby reduce mitigation requirements) and provide crossing options for wildlife that often travel riparian corridors. Wildlife underpasses should be constructed for all new highway projects, as these reduce wildlife–vehicle collisions, conserve important travel corridors, and provide linkages for bear populations and many other wildlife species.
