GHSA maintains data on state laws surrounding a number of highway safety issues. Below is information regarding laws in the state of North Dakota. For more information, consult the State Highway Safety Office.
As the recipient of a grant from GHSA and Lyft, the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) bolstered its winter anti-impaired driving campaign with additional media efforts and discounted rides for impaired travelers.
End-of-year data show North Dakota experienced a 10% drop in traffic deaths from 2017 to 2018. The state's Governor's Highway Safety Representative, Thomas Sorel, speaks to the work that remains.
