Arrive 2050
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) guides the development of the Bismarck-Mandan area’s multimodal transportation system over the next 20+ years. The MTP is updated by the Bismarck-Mandan Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) once every five years. Regular updates allow for goals and needs to be reassessed in a timely manner.
The MTP is an opportunity for the area to consider how the multimodal transportation system could look and function in the future.
Studies
The project team relies on previous studies done for the area to determine the future needs and plans for the metro. Review some of the key studies used for Arrive 2050.
US Highway 83 Alternative Study
Completed in July 2019, the study identified viable highway alternatives along US Highway 83 north of Bismarck to best serve existing and future stakeholders within the region while also analyzing potential new routes for regional traffic.
Bismarck-Mandan Regional Freight Study
Completed in December 2018, the purpose of the Bismarck-Mandan Regional Freight Study was to find the most used freight routes, detail the first and last mile of freight movement as well as freight movement through the region, and determine the need for investing in the local infrastructure to facilitate efficient and effective freight movement.
Mandan Downtown Subarea Study
Completed in January 2018, the Mandan Downtown Subarea Study looked at future growth and needs for the Mandan downtown area.
Bismarck-Mandan Bicycle + Pedestrian Plan
Completed in December 2017, this bicycle and pedestrian plan was created to support and grow engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation efforts to advance bicycling and walking as safe, comfortable, and reliable modes of transportation in Bismarck-Mandan.
Bismarck-Mandan School Safety Crossing Study
Completed in November 2017, both Mandan and Bismarck school districts partnered with the MPO and others to access the pedestrian and bike improvements needed to keep students safe while traveling to school.
Northeast Morton County Future Land Use Plan
Completed in November 2016, the purpose of the future land use plan was to serve as the basis for the county’s zoning decisions. The land use plan provides a blueprint for implementing growth and land use goals and objectives to current citizens, property owners, prospective citizens, developers, and buyers.
Mandan-Bismarck Corridor Improvement Study
Completed in August 2016, the Mandan-Bismarck Corridor Improvement Study looked at 20 corridors to improve traffic operations and reduce crashes along them.
Burleigh County Land Use Plan
Completed in April 2016, the Burleigh County Land Use Plan focused on the physical form of the planning area through 2040.
East Main Avenue Corridor Study
Completed in May 2023, this study documented existing conditions along East Main Avenue and identified strategies to ensure safety, mobility, and access for all future users in the area.
Sunset Drive Corridor Study
Completed in April 2023, this study addressed the expanding needs of Sunset Drive due to population growth and the aging infrastructure by planning alternatives to guide future development and redevelopment of the corridor to better serve the needs of all users.
Metro Growth
Forecasted employment and household growth for the Bismarck-Mandan Area is shown. The way a metro area grows greatly impacts the transportation demands of the area.
Household Growth
Shown is the estimated household growth for the next 25 years for the metro area.
Employment Growth
Shown is the estimated employment growth for the next 25 years for the metro area.

Draft Plan Review: Strategies
Some of the alternatives were combined into larger categories of strategies that could address major regional travel needs, and some multimodal strategies like bicycle and pedestrian improvements and transit investments were further considered.
Northern Bridge Crossing
Create a new Missouri River Bridge and continuous corridor between north Mandan and north Bismarck, approximately at 38th Street (Mandan) and 57th Avenue N (Bismarck).
McKenzie Drive Extension
Build a new connection in south Mandan by extending McKenzie Drive between 40th Avenue SE and Highway 6, including a new Heart River Bridge.
New Crossings of Interstate 94
Extend new corridors across Interstate 94 to increase the connections between portions of Bismarck and Mandan divided by I-94. This includes potential crossings at 52nd Street (Bismarck), Hamilton Street (Bismarck), and 30th Street (Mandan).
New Interstate 94 Interchanges
Improve access to Interstate 94 through new interchanges at 56th Avenue (west Mandan) and 66th Street (east Bismarck).
System Management Projects for Existing Corridors (Region-Wide)
Manage safety and operations on mature street corridors through low-impact improvements like turn lanes, safety upgrades, and intersection control improvements (traffic signal or roundabouts).
66th Street Improvements between Lincoln and NE Bismarck
Connect Lincoln and NE Bismarck through street improvements along 66th Street between Lincoln Road and 71st Street (including a new Interstate 94 crossing) and improving 71st Avenue N between 66th Street and State Street.
Complete Street Grid in Growth Areas
Create a continuous urban grid system in growth areas including north Bismarck corridors such as 26th Street, 57th Avenue east of 19th Street, and 57th Avenue west of Tyler Parkway. In north Mandan, this would include 24th Street and 37th Street west of Highway 1806 and extending Sunset Drive and 12th Avenue NW farther north.
Transit Strategy
Identify additional funding sources to provide stable fixed route and dial-a-ride public transit service.
| Period | Year | Projected Income | Projected Costs | Funding Cap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base Year | 2023 | $5,552,345 | $6,085,930 | $533,585 |
| Future Projections | 2024 | $5,324,342 | $6,657,008 | $1,332,666 |
| 2025 | $5,918,946 | $7,439,292 | $1,520,346 | |
| 2026 | $5,403,210 | $6,920,651 | $1,517,441 | |
| 2027 | $6,192,728 | $7,943,234 | $1,750,506 | |
| 2028 | $4,752,589 | $6,348,606 | $1,596,017 | |
| 2029 | $5,875,502 | $8,290,1286 | $2,414,626 |
Potential Strategy Solutions
Raise local revenues
Increase local contributions to transit through property tax mill levy, or increased lump sum contributions.
Decrease operating expenses
Reduce expense related to contracting, or reduce service hours and/or routes.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy (More Bike Paths, Trails, Side Paths)
Add more bicycle and pedestrian paths such as side paths along streets and new recreational trails to connect more parts of the metropolitan area.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategy (More Pedestrian Crossings)
Focus investments on improved pedestrian street crossings, such as high visibility crossings, pedestrian signals, and curb extensions to reduce crossing distance and improve pedestrian visibility.
Draft Plan Review: Draft Projects List
The draft project list includes those alternatives that were higher priority based on system needs and on funding available through the MPO. Many projects included in the strategies and alternatives lists are important and will be considered for implementation if additional funding becomes available. Those projects are called “illustrative projects” and can be viewed in the Draft Arrive 2050 Report.
Short-Term Projects
Short-term projects are projected to be in 2029 – 2033.
