Long Range Transportation Plan
The Long Range Transportation Plan serves as the 20+ year transportation planning document for the Rockingham Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). The Plan contains the region’s adopted policies, goals and objectives and specific project proposals to improve the transportation system through the year 2050. It is in compliance with the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (current federal transportation authorizing legislation), and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). This plan is a product of a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process, which considers all surface transportation modes and supports metropolitan community development. The plan reflects the goals and objectives of member communities in their own master plans and policies, of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) in its Long Range Transportation Plan, as well as those established by the RPC via the Regional Master Plan and the MPO process.
