Abstract	The overall objective of the Task 68 research was to document existing techniques and measures used to assess, minimize and mitigate habitat fragmentation impacts during highway facility design. The product of this research is meant to assist state department of transportation (DOT) practitioners, regional environmental coordinators and other transportation and environmental professionals in identifying and recommending habitat fragmentation solutions that are cost effective, can be readily implemented using available technology, provide significant habitat connectivity benefits, and reduce overall transportation project impacts on wildlife. The information gathered as part of this research has been assembled into a Decision Support Tool that can be used to identify potential solutions to the fragmentation of both terrestrial and aquatic (non-fish) resources. Terminology associated with habitat fragmentation and suggestions for ways to integrate consideration of habitat fragmentation into the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process are presented in the decision support tool, as well as a Habitat Fragmentation Decision Guide.
