Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to provide a plan for research and service that serves the transportation needs of North Dakota's rural, resource-based economy. A description of the unique characteristics of North Dakota's transportation environment are discussed and a broad agenda for research projects and plan for services is presented. The future viability of this network is vital because North Dakota's resource-based economy requires timely, efficient transportation for its low-valued bulk commodities. Greater efficiency of the transportation network, translates to increased productivity that will benefit both transport users and providers. The first section of this report describes the environment for transporting agricultural commodities in North Dakota. Next, an agenda for research and service is described. Topics are discussed for each of the eight research categories. In conclusion, an agenda for research and services is summarized. 19 p.
