Federal & State Transportation Planning Process
The Federal Transportation planning process is a cooperative effort designed to foster involvement by all users of the system through a proactive public participation process conducted by the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), state Department of Transportation (state DOT), and transit operators.
Three primary planning documents are ultimately developed:
Long Range Transportation Plan
Transportation Improvement Program
Air Quality Conformity Analysis

New Hampshire created a transportation planning process that has been integrated into the Federal process administered by the MPO. The Ten Year Transportation Plan, as defined under New Hampshire RSA 228:99 and RSA 240, requires New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) to propose a plan for improvements to the State’s transportation system every two years. The purpose is to develop and implement a plan allowing New Hampshire to fully participate in federally supported transportation improvement projects as well as to outline projects and programs funded with State transportation dollars.
