Ports-to-Plains Alliance and Theodore Roosevelt Expressway Association board member Brad Bekkadahl is quoted in this report on U.S. DOT Secretary Ray LaHood’s SAFETEA-LU Reauthorization Outreach meeting in Bismark, ND on June 4, 2010.

"Federal transportation officials continued their national listening tour with a meeting last week in Bismarck, N.D. Headlined by U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, the multi-state tour is seeking perspectives on reauthorization of the federal surface transportation program, which expired last September and remains in limbo due to a lack of national consensus on a new direction for transportation programs and a shortage of transportation revenues."
