View AllEach year, more than 16,000 motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) occur
on North Dakota roadways, resulting in more than 2,900 injuries and 107 fatalities. These crashes are detrimental to the mobility and livelihood of residents, businesses, and tourists; and have an enormous impact on the economy. Economic... As stated in the preceding brief, motor vehicle crashes (MVC) in North Dakota have an immense impact on our economy. Annual costs, both medical and non-medical (property damage, wage and productivity loss, etc.), reach into the hundreds of millions of dollars. Research was performed to calculate these... North Dakota wheat producers are located long distances from major consumer and export markets. Understanding the competitive position of their products is important to focusing efforts for market development and transportation investments. Research here provides some fundamental knowledge about market... Students at three institutions of higher learning in the upper Midwest were surveyed to identify attitudes and behaviors that impact their choice of academic major, internship, and career, as well as perceptions of internships and careers in public transportation, and use of job search methods.

In this paper, findings from a national survey on technology use by agencies providing transit service to rural areas are presented. The survey collected data on agency use of information and communications technologies, transit-specific technology, as well as characteristics of its manager. The survey... Older drivers are a growing segment in North Dakota's driver population. The natural aging process brings about diminished visual, cognitive, and physical skills needed for driving tasks.
