The Moose Federation of Alaska is proactive in keeping moose away from the highway.

Using their snowcats they are making  a number of diversionary snow trails, allowing the moose an opportunity to stay on top of the snow and reach higher browsing material.
 
A diversionary feeding program is also in the works in conjunction with the Department of Fish and Game. Modeled after past Alaska programs with some influence from Scandanavia (where they had a 46% reduction in collisions after implementing the program).
 
The Moose Federation encourages individual responsibility when you encounter a moose, especially with the extreme winter conditions yet to come.
