This study assesses, primarily through an extensive literature review, what is known about highway-wildlife relationships and suggests research and management approaches to protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and environmental quality. A cooperative effort to this end among natural resource and highway agency personnel is needed on a continuing basis from the initial planning stages for new highway construction through operation and maintenance. The 20 million or more acres in highway rights-of-way have been largely neglected as wildlife habitat.
