BISMARCK, N.D. – The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT), in partnership with the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute (UGPTI) at NDSU, gathered applications for the Township Assistance Program.

The NDDOT sought applications to distribute $10 million in state funds to townships.

“Investing in townships is an integral part of keeping North Dakota moving,” said NDDOT Director Ron Henke. “The Township Assistance Program provides state funds to adequately connect corridors in all areas of North Dakota.”

Up to $10 million is available through the Township Assistance Program. The funds are primarily for projects that serve the purpose of improving or repairing corridors that move freight and other commodities to market and for matching federal aid.

ALL townships are eligible for this funding.

Townships needed to apply through their respective county.

Each individual project should have been submitted in its own application.

Applications were due by October 6, 2023, and submitted electronically using the Geographic Roadway Inventory Tool (GRIT) through the NDSU-UGPTI.

For technical assistance, please call Kenneth Steiner at 701-318-6320 or email at Kenneth.steiner@ndsu.edu.
