We officially kicked off the 2024 construction season with a news conference May 23 in Bismarck to discuss upcoming projects and work zone safety.
This year’s construction season consists of approximately $580 million in projects throughout North Dakota to enhance the state highway system.
We're doubling down on our work zone safety messaging this summer. You will be seeing these ads in various places including social media, billboards, radio, and TV.
This partnership with the Association of General Contractors of North Dakota is a commitment to reduce crashes and improve safety in work zones.
The electric vehicle (EV) industry is pivotal for North Dakota's economic growth, driving innovation, creating jobs, and fostering new technologies. There are 950 EVs and 764 plug-in hybrid EVs as of May 2024 registered in the state. To accommodate this growing trend, North Dakota is focused on leveraging federal funds to seamlessly integrate the state into the nationwide charging network.
Over the next five fiscal years (2022-2026), the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program allocates a total of five billion dollars to state DOTs for the development of direct current fast charging (DCFC) infrastructure.

 ID events support tribal nations this election season
Last month, we traveled to four North Dakota tribal nations to provide non-driver photo identification (ID) cards that can be used for voting purposes.
We issued 73 IDs at Standing Rock Sioux, Spirit Lake Nation, Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, and the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation.
New Vision Zero video highlights why it's important to move over
Vision Zero partnered with the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) to promote North Dakota’s Move Over Law to prevent roadside deaths through a new video. The video demonstrates firsthand through Trooper Eric Rumple’s experience that it is crucial to “move over.”
The video was featured on various social media platforms throughout the month of April and May to educate viewers on the law that states drivers are required to move over to an adjacent lane and reduce speed to a safe level before passing vehicles with flashing hazards on the side of the road.
