Transportation
Transportation is the key to connecting and moving people, goods and services. Transportation planning in the region is funded, in most part, through the NH Department of Transportation with funds from the Federal Highway Administration. The Commission strives to respond to changing social, economic, environmental and demographic conditions of the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee region. Some of the transportation issues facing our region are:
- congestion in concentrated areas of the Upper Valley
- maintaining mobility for underserved populations
- improve pedestrian, bicyclist, and transit accessibility
- balancing the need for travel with quality of life in small rural communities
- sustaining funding to address infrastructure needs

Regional Transportation Planning
Transportation networks (e.g., roads) and services (e.g., buses) go beyond town boundaries. The regional transportation planning process seeks to identify the highest-priority transportation improvement projects for the region in order to promote safety, mobility, and access.
Key UVLSRPC regional transportation planning processes include:
- Facilitation of the regional Transportation Advisory Committee
- Preparing the Regional Corridor Transportation Plan
- Prioritizing regional transportation projects for the NH Ten-Year Transportation Improvement Plan ("Ten Year Plan")
- Monitoring traffic volumes on roadways across the region
For more information on how rural Regional Planning Commissions work with State and Federal partners to advance transportation planning, consult the Cooperative Public Process for Transportation Planning Efforts in New Hampshire.
Transportation Funding
UVLSRPC assists communities with securing funding for transportation projects. The Commission also has a role in identifying the highest-priority transportation projects in the region for major state and federal funding sources.
