We are on a mission to safely move people and goods. Our vision is to be North Dakota’s transportation leader, promoting safe ways, superior service, and economic growth.

What We Do

Originally called the State Highway Department, the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) was established in 1917. The NDDOT is an innovative and progressive organization that has a great team of employees that work hard across the state to carry out the department's mission to safely move people and goods.

The NDDOT builds and maintains an efficient transportation system consisting of over 8,500 miles of roadway and nearly 4,900 bridges. It oversees the development of surface transportation including highways, bridges, rail, transit, pedestrian and bicycle paths across the state.
