چکیده
Over the past few decades, wildlife crossings have effectively reduced wildlife–vehicle collisions and improved habitat connectivity genetic exchange for animals. However, are expensive to construct, cost may discourage transportation agencies from implementing new on public roadways. Additionally, planners rarely consider permitting mitigation costs that can require. A road profile must be raised accommodate a underpass many Florida roadways, particularly in low-lying areas. Raising result wetland impacts would not occur but crossing. Consequently, or more compensatory required satisfy § 404 of Clean Water Act—a agency taxpayers. We used Florida's Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) calculate value functions habitats before after planned State Road 40 Volusia County, Florida. The results our analysis show will enhance remnant adjacent crossings, generating credits amount by U.S. Army Corps Engineers. Our case study provides novel application UMAM valuing crossings. believe cost–benefit models planning determine functional thereby producing monetary incentivize crossing projects.

An experimental approach to road mitigation that maximizes inferential power is essential to ensure that mitigation is both ecologically-effective and cost-effective. Here, we set out the need for and standards of using an experimental approach to road mitigation, in order to improve knowledge of the influence of mitigation measures on wildlife populations. We point out two key areas that need ...
