International Conference on Ecology and Transportation 2027

There have been fourteen biennial International Conferences on Ecology and Transportation (ICOET) since its origin in 1999. The most recent conference was in May of 2025 in Denver, Colorado and was a combination of in person and virtual.  This pooled fund will support the next conference in 2027 that will be in-person in Portland, Oregon cohosted by the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Washington State Department of Transportation with support from the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife.  The conference will be organized by the University of California Davis Road Ecology Center. There will be a virtual conference option available. ICOET continues to serve as an invaluable conduit for transportation and ecology professionals to share applicable research and best practices, and to transfer knowledge between experienced practitioners and future leaders. The ICOET program includes podium presentations, posters on current research, panels, workshops, field trips, and exhibits on topics of interest to researchers, biologists, engineers, planners, project managers, administrators, and policy makers. The folks that regularly attend ICOET represent thousands of professionals that work for government, Tribal, academic, non-governmental and private industry from the United States and other countries. The 2025 conference in Denver had 644 total participants with 513 in person and another 131 virtual participants. There were 16 countries and 44 U.S. states in attendance. This new pooled fund will supersede the previous pooled fund (TPF 5-527) that will be completed June 30, 2025.
