Assessment of ND County and Local Road Needs, 2013-2015

This effort responds to the North Dakota legislature's request for a study of the transportation infrastructure needs of all county and township roads in the state. For this study, infrastructure needs are estimated using the most current production forecasts, traffic estimates, and roadway condition data available. Agricultural and oil-related traffic is modeled in detail at the sub-county level. Oil-related traffic is predicted for individual spacing units, whereas agricultural production is estimated at the township level.
