Introduction The Kittery Area Comprehensive Transportation System (KACTS) is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) covering the Kittery, Maine urban area and Maine portions of the Dover-Rochester, New Hampshire urban area since 1982. MPOs are required by federal law to be established in urbanized regions with 50,000 or more people. In its role as an MPO, KACTS oversees transportation planning and initiatives in the towns of Berwick, Eliot, Kittery, South Berwick and York, Maine. Taking a regional approach, KACTS works to address issues in the areas of transit, traffic incident management, and transportation demand management.

  • A Brief History of Kittery, Maine
    Maine Bicentennial Edition A Brief History of Kittery, Maine Published by the Kittery Historical and Naval Society 02 Prehistory 03 Introduction Kittery, Maine has a long and storied history as one of the oldest towns in New England. To understand our history, we at the Museum think about broad eras of time. The contents of this booklet reflect these eras: Before Europeans arrived around 1600, people lived here for thousands of years without a written history. Archaeology in southern Maine has indicated population shifts from environmental changes and human interaction across the region. When Europeans landed, the First People here lived in scattered villages. Their dome-shaped wigwams had frames covered by birch bark or matting. Their clothes were made from animal hides. They made ceramic pottery for containers. As hunter-gatherers, they relied on fish and seals, moose and deer, and plants for food. By the 1600's, they also grew corn, beans, and squash. They likely used birch bark canoes, rather than dugouts. They traded – and warred – with other tribes in present-day Canada and across New England. Some of their leaders or sagamores were known to the Europeans. In the early 1600's, this area was visited by European explorers and then fishermen, who were based at the Isles of Shoals. Those fishermen were © 2020 by K.H.N.S. transients who stayed for a few months at a time, instead of becoming Revised and corrected permanent settlers.

  • Transportation
    NMP 2020-2030: TRANSPORTATION INTRODUCTION The Transportation Chapter of the Master Plan provides an overview of Newington’s transportation network, identifies current transportation issues, and recommends actions to improve transportation in and around the community. As Newington strives to enhance the Town’s economic vitality, quality of life and environment, a multi-modal planning approach to mobility becomes more important. This approach considers multiple forms of transportation, adjacent land uses and the connecting street network to develop innovative transportation solutions that balance the needs and finances of the community and protection of the environment. NEWINGTON’S TRANSPORTATION NETWORK Newington has a complex transportation network for a town where residents make up less than 1% of the daily transportation volume. The network encompasses rural roads, a major state turnpike, a deep-water port, rail service, and portions of an international airport. This network is key to mobility for its citizens and economic development in town. Future land use, particularly in the Industrial, Waterfront Industrial, and Commercial and Office Zones, will occur with improved access, efficiency and interconnections between properties. In the 1990’s the Newington Planning Board developed a transportation strategy in conjunction with the NH Department of Transportation (DOT) and Rockingham Planning Commission (RPC) based on key travel corridors for efficient access and movement. The Planning Board identified seven arterial and collector corridors. Arterial corridors are the busiest roads, providing local connections but primarily pass people and goods through Newington quickly. Collector corridors provide similar pass through, but are slower and allow for more stops, cross-flow traffic, and turnoffs for local access.

  • Bi-State Bridge Funding
    Final Report Bi‐State Bridge Funding Task Force December 15, 2010 December 15, 2010 Re: Bi‐State Bridge Funding Task Force Delivery of Final Report Dear Governor John E. Baldacci and Governor John H. Lynch: We, the members of the Bi‐State Bridge Funding Task Force, appreciate the opportunity to serve you and the citizens of these two great states as we have developed this Final Report. This Task Force has met five times over an eight‐week period to review, discuss, and agree upon the estimated funding levels required for the Memorial, Sarah Mildred Long, and I‐95 High Level bridges over the next 30 years. This included discussion and identification of funding mechanisms, partners, joint structure, legislation and other actions necessary to meet the extra‐ordinary funding needs of these three bridges. We respectfully submit the attached Final Report and endorse the findings and recommendations contained within. Executive Summary On October 5, 2010, the Governors of Maine and New Hampshire issued executive orders creating the Bi‐State Bridge Funding Task Force, identifying its members, duties, and schedule. The formation of this Task Force was appropriately timed with the upcoming completion of the Maine‐New Hampshire Connections Study (Study). The recent closure of the Memorial Bridge between Kittery Maine and Portsmouth New Hampshire exemplifies the need for a unified approach to the Operations and Maintenance, Repair and Rehabilitation, and Capital Improvements to the Memorial Bridge, Sarah Mildred Long Bridge, and I‐95 High level bridge crossing the Piscataqua River between Maine and New Hampshire. The importance of this corridor to the commerce of the two states as a link to each other, the remainder of the United States and Canada cannot be overstated.

  • 2010-2015 Mainedot 6 Year Capital Improvement Plan (PDF)
    Multimodal Six-Year Transportation Capital Improvement Plan State Fiscal Years 2010-2015 April 29, 2009 The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) is pleased to present this Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (Six-Year Plan) for state fiscal years 2010-2015. It discusses how MaineDOT anticipates applying projected capital transportation resources to implement Connecting Maine, MaineDOT’s long-range plan, available at www.mainedot.gov. It is also a resource for the public, municipalities, MaineDOT staff, and other transportation stakeholders. The Six-Year Plan offers an opportunity for expanded public involvement both in project selection and in a project’s scope of work. By providing an indication of planned transportation improvements, it represents an opportunity for early coordination with other investments, such as utilities or municipal revitalization projects. This Six-Year Plan also presents a policy for better-incorporating congressionally designated funding, such as High Priority Projects or earmarks, into MaineDOT’s planning process. This Six-Year Plan is directly related to MaineDOT’s mission, “to responsibly provide a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system that supports economic opportunity and quality of life.” It continues MaineDOT’s commitment to developing and managing a multimodal transportation system, while addressing the growing needs of Maine’s bridges and highways. In preparation for this plan, MaineDOT contacted Maine municipalities, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Indian Nations and Tribes, and County Commissioners for Unorganized Territories, for project priorities. Maine’s Regional Planning Councils (RCs) also provided significant input for this document, including providing comments on early draft project listings. The primary difference between this Six-Year Plan and prior mid-range planning documents is that this plan includes a broader type of projects, plus Parts A and B.
