Wildlife‑vehicle collisions are a serious safety problem nationwide and in and around national parks. Collisions with wildlife in the United States kill around 200 people and injure over 26,000 per year. These avoidable collisions can cost American motorists billions of dollars, and no life can be replaced.
Right now, Congress is preparing the next five-year transportation bill, which we hope will include the Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program. Urge Congress to invest in wildlife crossing projects, studies and programs.
