Public Hearing on the Draft 2027-2036 CNHRPC Transportation Improvement Program
The 2027-2036 CNRPC Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was approved by the CNHRPC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on March 21, 2025 and is set for a public hearing before the CNHRPC Full Commission at their meeting on March 27, 2025. The meeting will be located at the Horseshoe Pond Place Community Resource Center, 26 Commercial Street, Concord NH.
The TIP is a culmination of work beginning in July of 2024 seeking confirmation of continued support for transportation projects in the current 2025-2034 NHDOT Ten Year Plan, and soliciting new projects for consideration in the upcoming 2027-2036 Ten Year Plan. Several new potential projects were proposed by CNHRPC communities, which were subsequently evaluated scored by the TAC over the course of the summer and fall. These projects and proposed funding allocations are described in the Draft TIP document and will be forwarded to NHDOT for inclusion to the draft 2027-2036 Ten Year Plan by March 31, 2025.
Questions and comments can be directed to Craig Tufts at ctufts@cnhrpc.org or Mike Tardiff at mtardiff@cnhrpc.org, or by reaching us at 603 226 6020.
The NH Department of Transportation Ten Year Plan
In New Hampshire, each of the nine regional planning commissions prepares a Regional TIP every two years based on input from local municipalities, NHDOT, and each planning commission’s Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC). This is concurrent with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and Ten Year Plan update.
New Hampshire RSA 228:99 and RSA 240 require that NHDOT propose a plan for improvements to the State’s transportation system every two years. The purpose of the Ten Year Plan is to develop and implement a plan allowing NH to fully participate in federally supported transportation improvement projects as well as to outline projects and programs funded with State transportation dollars.
