The Transportation Department at the University of North Dakota is responsible for managing and coordinating all vehicle services on campus.  The mission of the department is to provide a high level of transportation and vehicle maintenance service to all departments and divisions within the University and all North Dakoeta State Agencies.

The Transportation Department was established in the early 1970's.  All vehicle repair and maintenance were centralized under one department and organized to provide more efficient and cost-effective transportation service for the entire University of North Dakota.

During the 1995 North Dakota Legislative session, legislation was passed placing all responsibility for management and control of state vehicles with State Fleet Services in Bismarck, North Dakota.  State Fleet Services is a division of the North Dakota Department of Transportation.
