Proceedings of the 2011 International Conference on Ecology and Transportation (ICOET 2011)

The International Conference on Ecology and Transportation (ICOET) is the foremost multi-disciplinary, inter-agency supported conference addressing the broad range of ecological issues related to transportation systems. Experts in transportation development, related scientific study, policy issues, and administrative processes gather at ICOET to share the most current research information, quality applications, and best practices that can enhance both the project development process and the ecological sustainability of transportation systems. This year's theme was Sustainable Transportation. Presented papers were presented at thematically organized sessions. There were six Connectivity Sessions including: CNT-1 Strategic Approaches to Mitigation; CNT-2 Integrating Resilient Transportation Systems with Ecological Restoration; CNT-3 Habitat Connectivity: Measuring and Planning the Critical Links; CNT-4 Breaking Down Barriers: Project Level to International Scale; CNT-5 New Considerations for Habitat Connectivity; CNT-6 Sustaining Hydrologic Connections. Construction, Operations and Maintenance Sessions included: COM-1 Safety First: Reducing Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions; COM-2 Ecological Enhancement and Compliance in Construction, Operations and Maintenance; COM-3 Improving Stormwater Management through Better Analysis and Design; COM-4 Vegetation Management for Road and Rail Corridors; COM-5 Turn It Down! Noise Impacts; COM-6 Unwelcome Guests: Invasives and Pests. Crossings and Barriers Sessions included: CRB-1 Long-Term Perspectives on Ecology and Sustainable Transportation; CRB-2 Understanding Barrier Effects and Crossing Design; CRB-3 Planning and Design Considerations for Small Animals and Herptefauna; CRB-4 Planning and Designing Effective Crossings; CRB-5 Facilitated Session: New Methods, New Materials, New Thinking: Innovations of the ARC International Wildlife Crossing Infrastructure Design Competition; CRB-6 Road Effects on Biodiversity and Species. Sustainability Sessions included:SUS-1 Greening the Gray; SUS-2 Partnerships for Linkages; SUS-3 Using Context Sensitive Solutions to Deliver Sustainable Projects; SUS-4 Show Me the Money: Effective Mitigation and Costs of Impacts; SUS-5 Delivering Sustainable Infrastructure: Programs and Tools; SUS-6 Landscape Scale Planning for Transportation and Conservation.
