NDDOT’s Executive Budget recommendation assumes approximately $616.5 million in federal funding will be received.

Unfortunately, the current transportation funding program MAP-21 was extended to only May 31, 2015. This is a short-term extension of the program and as a result 2015 funding is still uncertain.

To date NDDOT has received a federal appropriation of approximately $143 million for 2015.
