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.
