Abstract
Management and utilization of North Dakota's transportation network is extremely dynamic in nature. This has always been the case, but particularly so in the past five to ten years. Several factors have accelerated the changes in demands on the transportation system and its management. Some of these factors include agricultural marketing patterns, shifting demographics, concentration of tourists and recreational activities, city subdivision/fringe area development, industrial and commercial plant siting, and increasing maximum allowable vehicle weights.
