The MWTP Steering Committee developed the MWTP Project Program (Program) as a standardized and collaborative framework to receive and evaluate project proposals. The Program addresses the need for transportation projects specifically dedicated to accommodating wildlife with the collaborative engagement of stakeholders, including leveraging capacity and capital investment. The Program establishes an avenue for public-private partnerships to propose wildlife accommodation projects. The committee will select “stand-alone” wildlife accommodation projects to reduce wildlife-vehicle conflicts and improve safe wildlife passage across Montana highways.
