State Funding for Townships

The dues-funded lobbying efforts of NDTOA have resulted in state money coming to townships; follow the links on this page to see how the different programs worked and what they provided.

These funds benefit organized and unorganized townships alike. The funds are paid to the county for the unorganized townships and are to be used to benefit unorganized township roads. 

In recognition of the importance of NDTOA efforts, nine counties pay NDTOA dues for their unorganized townships. The rest leave it to others to pay their way for them.
