(Salem, OR) -- A new advisory group will meet later this month with the goal of reducing vehicle collisions with wildlife. The Oregon Wildlife Transportation Advisory Group was created by the 2025 legislature. It brings together state and federal agencies, counties, universities, conservation and sporting organizations. They'll consider locations for wildlife crossing projects. The group's mission is to improve safety for motorists, reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions and maintain critical habitat connectivity by expanding Oregon's network of wildlife crossings.
