Roll through the tabs to find static and real time maps, containing information to help you find the most convenient path to your destination. Apple and Droid users can also download the free RouteShout 2.0 app, and take route information with them on the go. If you are traveling throughout North Dakota, the Bismarck-Mandan Transit Center is also home to a Jefferson Lines bus depot that can help you easily get to the east or western part of the state. Buses traveling east out of Bismarck can connect you to Fargo via Interstate 94, while the bus traveling west travels to Dickinson, before reaching Billings, Mont.
