Specifically, these services will help USFWS to: -Identify the needs of the millennial generation___s refuge visitation and its impacts. -Understand millennial generation mobility and alternative transportation system preferences. -Identify, support, and mentor potential transportation scholars. -Provide road ecology technical road assistance for refuges to protect wildlife, water resources, fish passages, and habitats. -Support ARC Solutions___ (animal road crossings) technology transfer, materials and outreach with refuges and other potential wildlife oriented partners. -Support access to transportation training and information resources of specific interest to federal land agency personnel. -Conduct a national survey on wildlife and roads in the refuges to identify wildlife vehicle collision and habitat connectivity needs and potential strategies to address them. -Investigate international partnerships to exchange wildlife mitigation solutions and road ecology best practices worldwide.
