Background
• Deer-vehicle collisions cause thousands of injuries and dozens of fatalities annually, with one source estimating around 74,000 deer involved in collisions each year. • Wildlife crossings significantly reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by 85% to 95% with the help of fencing. • For example, a highway in Colorado saw a 90% decrease in animal collisions after installing seven crossings, two overpasses, and five underpasses.
