Planned Transportation Spending
An examination of North Dakota’s 2011-2014 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program reveals that road maintenance/minor widening projects account for the largest chunk of the planned spending (68 percent). Transit funding, bridge maintenance/replacement projects, and projects classified as “other” follow, each at 8 percent of the planned spending. Safety projects account for 4 percent of the STIP. New road capacity projects make up 2 percent of the spending, as do bicycle/pedestrian projects. Bridge capacity expansion projects make up less than 1 percent of the spending, and the STIP does not identify any road or bridge projects with bicycle/pedestrian components (such as adding sidewalks when reconstructing a roadway). share
