A 22-mile stretch of OR-82 between Minam & Enterprise has seen 1,000+ deer and elk collisions since 2009, putting drivers and wildlife at risk. Thankfully, wildlife crossings work cutting collisions by 86%. Safer roads for people and animals are possible.

News! @GovTinaKotek signed HB 2978 that makes it easier to build wildlife crossings. But, paying for these life-saving structures remains key. We can fund these projects in the transportation package moving through #ORLeg. @RepTawnaSanchez @juliefahey https://t.co/NwhpHBEDuC

Letter in @sourceweekly urges #ORLeg to fund wildlife crossings: "The problem isn't that deer cross our roads— it's that our roads cross their forests. It's our responsibility to build safe passage where highways cut through critical habitats." https://t.co/7dUW75GMA8

[Keep Oregon's Wildlife Moving @ORWildlifeMoves]

Check-out all the folks who came out to the Community Budget hearings to let @RepTawnaSanchez, @juliefahey, Joint Committee on Ways & Means Committee members, and other leaders know that they want #orleg to fund wildlife crossings https://t.co/nA2bqn5GRT

"I've seen numbers around $7,000 per collision with a deer...but what's striking is $73,000 when someone hits an elk." - Oregon @Backcountry_H_A on why he wants #ORLeg to fund wildlife crossings in its transportation package. #KeepOregonsWildlifeMoving https://t.co/8llScYmYOI

@Emerson4OR @MyODFW Wildlife Crossing Champion @PamMarshORHD5 talks about how dangerous I-5 is for people and wildlife alike. Thankfully, help is on the way and Oregon will have a new wildlife crossing. This is why it is critical for #ORLeg to pass HB 2978 to #KeepOregonsWildlifeMoving. #ORPolitics
