Deer/Vehicle
Reduction Goal
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va.
– Two state agencies and an auto
insurance company are collaborating
to study deer/vehicle collisions
in West Virginia and come
up with ways to best reduce their
occurrence. The long-term goal of
the project is to identify the most
effective mitigation technique at
the lowest cost, according to Division
of Natural Resources (DNR)
Director Frank Jezioro and Department
of Transportation (DOT)
Secretary Paul Mattox.
Following a legislative audit in
2011, Director Jezioro contacted
Secretary Mattox and suggested
that their agencies work together to
identify the most effective methods
for possibly reducing deer-vehicle
collisions in West Virginia. The
State Farm Mutual Auto Insurance
Company, the nation’s largest auto
insurer, has provided a major funding
source for the study.
The DOT and the DNR are preparing
to release a Request for Proposals
to hire an independent contractor
to begin the initial phase.
