The purpose of this project was to build a "toolbox" of information that may be used by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) to assess the effects of existing and proposed roads on habitat quality and connectivity. As a subtext, the project focused on the ability of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to assist transportation planners with project development. To achieve this purpose, the toolbox needed to contain several important pieces of information including: Whether Alaskans are concerned about the effects of roads on habitat quality and connectivity; Who is concerned and for what reasons; About what species and areas people are concerned; What direct and indirect effects roads and their related infrastructure have on habitat quality and connectivity for species and areas of interest; Literature, especially literature pertinent to Alaska, related to the effects of roads on habitat quality and connectivity; and GIS data and methods that can be used by planners to inform the road design process by promoting designs that minimize the negative effects of roads on species and areas of concern. This information was collected over the course of approximately five months through individual research and by holding two workshops. Workshop participants played a key role in informing our research and contributing information based on their areas of expertise. Results of this project include the creation of a list of persons concerned about the effects of roads on habitat quality and connectivity, a database of relevant literature, GIS data sets and methods useful for project development, and proceedings from two workshops. All of this information, as well as other information regarding the project, can be found on this website. A result of this work is that transportation planners now have access to a suite of information that will enable them to better plan and design road projects. Our hope is that up-front use of this information will streamline the road design process and minimize the negative effects of roads on habitat quality and connectivity.
