Mat Bell

Mat specializes in integrating wildlife biology, civil engineering and data analytics to design transportation infrastructure that’s safer for people and better connected for nature. He works across planning and design to identify where wildlife movement and transportation networks intersect, developing practical solutions to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions while improving long-term ecological resilience. 

With more than a decade of experience, Mat combines corridor-scale analysis, wildlife movement modeling and engineering design to develop effective wildlife crossing solutions that can be delivered with confidence. He has led multidisciplinary collaborations, developed innovative crossing concepts and advanced visualization techniques to evaluate and refine design options. By translating complex ecological data into practical engineering solutions, Mat creates infrastructure that delivers lasting value for both communities and the environment.
