This represents the Final Report for the project. It contains the basic findings from the 2-year study, and is an updated version of the draft report (7/2013). The report includes the results from the deer movement study, the wildlife-vehicle collision study (unsuccessful crossing of freeway), and the wildlife-camera study (safe passages under freeway). It also includes recommendations for reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions and improving driver safety on I-280.
