Wildlife-vehicle collisions spike 16% the week following a daylight-saving time change. To make roads safer year-round, states can invest in bridges and underpasses for animals, known as wildlife crossings, which can reduce accidents by up to 90%. pewtrsts.org/4os5O4k

Wildlife crossings—bridges and underpasses for animals—have reduced collisions with large animals by 92% in the state, per @ColoradoDOT. Continual funding for this infrastructure helps make roads safer for people and animals. pewtrsts.org/4kVSent 📸 Steven Coffey/Unsplash
