A genuinely limited local airport

Devils Lake Regional Airport (DVL) offers daily United Airlines flights (operated by SkyWest) to Denver only -- a real, disclosed limitation consistent with a small Essential Air Service-supported airport.

Daily Amtrak service, a real advantage

Devils Lake is served daily by Amtrak's Empire Builder route, a real, disclosed passenger-rail option uncommon among this project's smaller ND markets.

Genuinely car-dependent daily trips

Most local travel in Devils Lake runs by automobile, with no evidence found of a fixed-route daily public transit system.
