The Transportation Hall of Honor was created to recognize those who have had a major role and made a lasting contribution to the development of the highway system on the state, county, or local level. It also honors those who participate in highway safety programs or help promote the vital function roadways provide the state and its citizens.
“The incredible advancement of the transportation industry is only because of the dedication and remarkable work of individuals like our award winners,” NDDOT Director Ron Henke said. “We’re honored to welcome them into the Transportation Hall of Honor.”
Levi worked more than 37 years improving the state highway system at NDDOT. As Director, he guided the state's transportation agency through historic infrastructure investments to help support the energy and agriculture industries.
