  • Public Transportation Needs in New Hampshire
    A snapshot of how public transportation is funded and structured throughout the state. MOBILITY NEEDS in THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Introduction Public transit is a lifeline to many New Hampshire residents of all ages and demographics. In FTA Mandated ADA Service ADA Paratransit Cost Growth order to maintain the public transit services available in New Hampshire today, signicant Transit agencies throughout the state have been facing Cooperative Alliance for Seacoast Transportation (COAST) increases in public funding are critically needed. The federal funding that New Hampshire’s an increasing need for federally mandated Americans public transit systems rely heavily upon is not keeping pace with the growing demand and with Disabilities Act (ADA) service, especially for dialysis rising service costs. With adequate ongoing support, transit agencies can focus on providing trips. This on-demand service is for people with disabili- reliable transportation service to the region and ensure access for NH’s future generations. ties that keep them from riding the regular xed route bus. COAST, the public transit agency serving the New Hampshire Seacoast, has seen demand for mandated ADA services grow 880% from 2008-2018, and their cost to provide those services increase 744%. Federal alloca- tions of transit funds have not risen accordingly, leaving public transit agencies to bear the burden of these costs. Economic Development & Land Use In order for economic development to continue to thrive in NH, businesses need to be able to oer public transit to potential employees. Employment sites with transit access can leverage this to attract additional workers and address parking needs.

  • Chapter V Transportation A. Introduction
    Town of Litchfield Master Plan 2019 Chapter V: Transportation CHAPTER V TRANSPORTATION A. INTRODUCTION One of the primary responsibilities of government at all levels is to provide a safe, convenient and reliable transportation system to facilitate the movement of people and goods as efficiently as possible. The transportation system has a major impact on local and regional economic health, quality of life and overall well-being. It also has a significant impact on the ways in which land is developed and is in turn, greatly influenced by land use developed patterns. At the local level, ensuring that the town’s systems of roads, sidewalks, bike lanes and trails are developed and maintained in a rational and orderly manner are among the most important functions of the Planning Board and Board of Selectmen. Because Litchfield contains various roads under state jurisdiction that facilitate through-traffic as well as local traffic and since most Litchfield residents need to access employment, shopping, medical services, entertainment and other needs outside of the town, it is also essential that the community engage in the process of planning for the maintenance and improvement of the state, federal and regional transportation systems These systems include state and federal highways, inter-city and regional bus services, freight and passenger rail. For economic development purposes, the availability of an efficient transportation system is an important locational consideration for new businesses and a primary decision factor for new residents looking to relocate to or within the region. Enhancing its transportation system is a strategy a town can utilize to retain and attract new commercial and industrial facilities and maintain residential property values to strengthen the tax base.

  • Part III – Development Strategies and Activities A
    Part III – Development Strategies and Activities A. Past Year’s Activities Rockingham Economic Development Corporation (REDC) continued to build upon its partnership with the Economic Development Administration (EDA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Working in collaboration with the Rockingham Planning Commission (RPC) and the Nashua Regional Planning Commission (NRPC), REDC has fulfilled its responsibilities as the designated administrator for the Rockingham Economic Development District (EDD). Not only has REDC maintained its annual “grass-roots” CEDS planning process, supported regional economic development projects and provided technical assistance to economic development stakeholders at the local level, the agency has also increased funding opportunities for its communities and embraced the expansion of the EDD to include additional communities. 1. Program and Project Highlights REDC continued its partnership with EDA through the maintenance of the “comprehensive, continuous grass-roots” CEDS planning process that has resulted in the Annual CEDS Update for 2011. Through the use of the EDA Planning Investment Grant, REDC has brought together economic development stakeholders in the region through four (4) CEDS Steering Committee meetings, outreach to the municipalities, non-profits and the business community and sponsorship of forums.. Below is a summary of the program and projects REDC participated in or helped facilitate during the 2010-2011 CEDS planning cycle. 1. Brownfield’s EPA grant award: REDC received a $1 million dollar Brownfields’ grant, which took effect October 1, 2010. This fund will be used to make loans and grants to clean up Brownfields’ sites throughout the Region. This will support the CEDS goal of redeveloping Brownfields. REDC received one application for Brownfields’ clean-up funding during the first application period.
