Be especially careful around buses at dawn and dusk, when the sun is low on the horizon and can obstruct your vision.

School buses are back.

Flashing red lights mean STOP.

Children can be unpredictable around buses, so slow down and stay alert every time you see one.

Some days, 25 years feels like yesterday. This day is one of them. Thank you, first responders.

Today, we remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, along with the courage of the first responders who answered the call.

Thank you to those who continue serving our communities every day.

Meet Pam Burkes, administrative assistant and permit coordinator in our Grand Forks District Office. She joined NDDOT in 2022 but spent 18 years prior to that in another position at the State.

Spending time with her family and friends is a huge part of her life. Pam has three kids and six grandkids, and is close with them as well as her mom and siblings. They play games, craft, and "be as silly as possible!" She counts laughing, coffee and cards with her besties as some of the most important things in her life.

"(At NDDOT) The philosophy of family is always first. When emergencies arise, I never worry about losing my job. The team mentality in the Grand Forks office is amazing! Everyone works well together, no stress and everyone here is willing to lend a hand, answer questions and lift you up! NDDOT has done a GREAT job in making sure employees feel valued and empowered to succeed! Hands down, the best place I have ever worked!"

Today, we’re celebrating the people who keep North Dakota moving — from the folks working behind the scenes to those out on the roads, in the field and behind the wheel.

And to all those who travel these roads, a big thank you to everyone whose hard work helps grow, maintain and connect our communities.

Enjoy the long weekend, and wherever the road takes you, get there safely!
