ID SCR124

Idaho Legislature expresses support for wildlife crossings (overpasses, underpasses, and related fencing) to protect big game migration corridors for mule deer, elk, and pronghorn

More than 50 big game migration corridors have been mapped across Idaho, with hundreds of wildlife-vehicle collisions occurring annually causing millions of dollars in property damage

Wildlife crossings have proven to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions by over 80% while maintaining migration corridor integrity

The Cervidae Peak Wildlife Overpass over Highway 21 is the first wildlife overpass constructed in Idaho and has demonstrated significant benefits
