North Dakota Regional Coordination Pilot Projects

Project Information

North Dakota's 2009 Legislature enacted Senate Bill 2223 which directed the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) to initiate two regional transit coordination projects. The legislation provides that one of the projects be in a region with no city with a population over 35,000 and one in a region with a city over 35,000.

NDDOT subsequently contracted with the Small Urban & Rural Transit Center (SURTC) to conduct corresponding studies and to provide related findings and recommendations by December 2010. NDDOT will use these findings and recommendations as the basis for submitting a report to the 2011 Legislature.

NDDOT and the projects' Technical Steering Committee have identified the two regions that will be the focus of these coordination efforts. The regional centers for the chosen regions are Jamestown (South Central Region) and Bismarck (West Central Region). A Regional Steering Committee has been established for each region and public input meetings will be held in July 2010 to provide the public with related information and to solicit input on a number of issues related to transit coordination.

This website contains a variety of information related to these projects. For more information contact Jon Mielke (701-328-9865, jon.mielke@ndsu.edu) or Carol Wright (701-231-8231, carol.wright@ndsu.edu).
