A Call to Action

The small-town character of New Hampshire quickly is being overwhelmed by traffic and unplanned growth. This paper describes how the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) worked with the New Hampshire Community Foundation to develop a long-range transportation plan for the state. The plan addresses congestion, land use and related issues. To develop the plan, a 24-member community advisory committee--made up of government, citizen and transportation industry representatives--was impaneled. The resulting plan sets specific goals and policies for the state, including the need for partnerships, increasing local technical assistance, engaging the private sector to help manage demand and broadening citizen engagement in regional planning. The NHDOT has agreed on some specific commitments to ensure that the citizen plan is not neglected.
