Each workshop provided attendees with factual information concerning the condition of North Dakota's transportation system and funding realities. Participants were given an opportunity to voice their opinions concerning current and future system and program needs and funding options. Participants were also encouraged to become more directly involved in future decision-making processes at the local, state, and federal level.
