The first Leadership Bismarck Mandan committee is pursuing a project to establish specific drop-off and pick-up locations for rideshare services at high-traffic areas downtown Bismarck and Mandan. This would include designated signage at specific spots, integration with rideshare vendors and an awareness campaign for our community. The goal of our project is to make it easier, safer and more convenient for downtown patrons to visit your businesses and get home safely through a rideshare service.

The second Leadership Bismarck Mandan committee is pursuing a project that would bring a voice and story to the downtown art and architecture. Each piece would come alive on the Talking Trails app with an in-depth description provided by the artists or historians for a richer, immersive experience.
