One of the goals of the NRPC Transportation Planning Program is to promote alternative transportation modes that can improve the regional economy and quality of life. Better transportation options can reduce congestion, pollution and can fight problems such as suburban sprawl.
With better planning for roadways, more mass transit, modern railway networks, and smart solutions for our traffic problems, our region can be a healthier place to live and work. Alternative transportation planning can help to preserve the quality of life we value by encouraging individuals and businesses to make alternative transportation part of their lives. The Nashua region is the origin and destination for many long-distance work-related trips. Common destinations include the Manchester area to the north and the Boston metropolitan area to the south. Make your commute a bit easier by sharing the ride with others.
