ARC raises awareness around wildlife movement and protection and fosters innovation in the placement, design, and construction of wildlife crossing structures.
"Unlike so many issues that we face today, there are actually these solutions to making roads safer for people and wildlife," said Renee Callahan, executive director of ARC Solutions.

For the first time the U.S. allocates big money for Animal Road Crossings! Our research partners @ARC_Solutions explain why and how wildlife crossing infrastructure@works. Listen here: https://t.co/JZcbfI4GV0 #safepassage#wildways#greeninfrastructure @EcoDesignLabRU
Important @npr story. This year I am working to expand wildlife passages in Colorado. This will save lives—both human and animal. Greater habitat connectivity also helps preserve ecological systems necessary for our state’s unique natural heritage. #coleg https://t.co/os3eEY5Nvu
Dedicated funding for wildlife infrastructure is a crucial tipping point in improving human safety, reducing wildlife mortality, restoring connectivity, and creating jobs.
It sounds almost whimsical, but wildlife crossing infrastructure can prevent collisions and save lives.
One more example of what we'll be able to deliver thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. https://t.co/7K4nhgLiZp
You may have read that the infrastructure bill earmarked $350 million for wildlife crossings. But what does that mean, why does it matter, & how did it end up in the bill? For @voxdotcom, I dug into the political history of wildlife infra. #roadecology

"...Passage of the bill, which addresses that obstacle by dedicating $350 million in funding for wildlife infrastructure, is a crucial tipping point in improving human safety, reducing wildlife mortality, restoring connectivity, and creating jobs.:
Marking an important step to safeguard both people and wildlife, the bipartisan infrastructure package that the U.S. Congress passed on November 5th includes $350 million to construct wildlife road crossings.
