However, the names of the routes will change. According to UTA’s Senior Service Planner Steve Swan, all of the inter-county routes are becoming a “400 series.” This means the current No. 51 bus would be the No. 451, the No. 53 would become the No. 453 and the No. 75, which services the Tooele Army Depot, would be the No. 475. The No. 475 route is more of a reverse commute, Swan explained. It brings riders to the Tooele Army Depot during the morning commute and back to Salt Lake Valley during the evening commute. The three Salt Lake-Tooele County routes have a com- bined ridership of more than 700 passengers per day. UTA’s goal is to increase Salt Lake County ridership, now at 57,000 a day, by 12 percent over the next three years. However Tooele County service is not scheduled for an increase. According to UTA, there has been a 7 percent increase photography / Troy Boman in ridership on the Tooele-Salt Lake lines in the past five Northlake Elementary third-graders walk and run around the school grounds for 30 minutes once a week as part of Utah Department of Health’s Gold years.

  • Understanding Urban White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus) Movement and Related Social and Ecological Considerations for Management
    Understanding Urban White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) Movement and Related Social and Ecological Considerations for Management by Erin C. McCance A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSPHY Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2N2 Copyright © 2014 by Erin C. McCance ABSTRACT White-tailed deer (WTD) (Odocoileus virginianus) were studied within the Greater Winnipeg Area (GWA) to investigate urban deer home range size, habitat use, and seasonal movement patterns. A comparative analysis was also completed in Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP) in order to assess the similarities and differences between urban and rural deer spatial and temporal movement patterns. The study revealed differences in the spatial land use patterns of these two cohorts with substantially smaller urban WTD monthly and seasonal home range sizes than in RMNP. Building on the findings derived from the animal-borne locational data, an investigation into the human social dynamics associated with the urban deer herd indicated that human behavior heavily influences urban deer movement. Using a critical case study approach, the research investigated the wildlife value orientations and the emotional dispositions associated with the human behavior of intentionally supplying artificial food sources for deer. The spatial and temporal occurrences of urban deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) and the factors associated with high risk DVC roadways were not random, and human social behavior is correlated to the frequency and location of DVC occurrences in the GWA. This research identifies management strategies to successfully mitigate human-wildlife conflict and the associated human-human conflict within the GWA, as well as the need for, and challenges associated with, an integrated approach to urban wildlife management.
