Patricia Cramer is a Research Assistant Professor at Utah State University. She is currently researching wildlife androads across Utah, along US 93 in Montana, and across Washington State. Dr. Cramer was co-author with JohnBissonette on the National Academies' Research Project, 'Evaluation of the Use and Effectiveness of Wildlife Crossings.'This 4 year study helped us understand the state of the practice and science of mitigating roads for wildlife in NorthAmerica. She received the Denver Zoo's Conservationist Award for 2010.Doug Sakaguchi is a biologist in the Habitat Section of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Central Region office,where his focus has been impact analysis. He has been instrumental in analyzing wildlife carcass pickup data fromapproximately 15 highways in the region and has worked closely with the Utah Department of Transportation inrecommending and including wildlife mitigation in transportation projects. Doug received his B.S. degree in fisheryscience from Cornell University, and his M.S. degree in freshwater ecology from Brigham Young University. After workingfor the UDWR for more than 31 years, he is presently considering spending more time fishing with his two grandchildren.Nathan Merrill is the Southwest Area Traffic & Safety Engineer for the Utah Department of Transportation’s RegionFour. His responsibilities include highway signing, work zone traffic control, traffic signal operations, traffic studies andtraffic accident data on State and Federal highways within six counties.
