5th Biennial Northeastern Transportation and Wildlife Conference - September 9-12, 2012
This years theme: Road Ecology in Economically Challenging Times
About the Conference
At this time, regulatory and economic factors provide challenges to providing transportation
infrastructure that has a reduced affect upon the surrounding landscape. The amount of deficient
infrastructure exceeds the funds available so that modifications and strategies required by
regulatory requirements get priority. This conference will discuss these challenges and show how
agencies are meeting the challenge with the resources available.
