Innovation Champions

The NDLTAP is interested in knowing what successful innovation(s) your department has developed, designed, and fabricated that promotes safety, increases job efficiencies, and/or demonstrates savings to your agency.

We will enter your innovation into the Innovation Champions Contest as well as share that information with local highway, tribal, and street departments across the state. The contest is a great way for your department to get well earned recognition for their efforts.

We are accepting submissions for 2026 from all ND road and street departments. Entries for the contest are accepted through July 31.

For more information or to submit an application, contact Matthew Johnson at matthew.johnson.20@ndsu.edu or (701)929-0581.
