The Rockingham Planning Commission announces the adoption of the 2009-2012 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and 2009-2035 Metropolitan Long Range Transportation Plan for the RPC Metropolitan Planning Organization region.  In addition, an Air Quality Conformity Determination has been made based on the Air Quality Conformity Analysis for the RPC portion of the Southern New Hampshire 8 Hour Ozone Non-attainment Area and input from the other New Hampshire Metropolitan Planning Organizations.

The FY 2009-2012 TIP is a prioritized list of regional transportation priorities developed by representatives from communities within the RPC region.  The 2009-2035 Long Range Plan project listing is a set of projects that can reasonably be expected to be constructed within the twenty-seven town RPC region during the next 26 years. 

Copies of both documents, along with supporting documentation, are available at the Rockingham Planning Commission offices, and available for download below. 

The format of the new 2009-2035 Metropolitan Long Range Transportation Plan has changed from the previous 2007-2026 Plan. The new document is organized into four chapters plus an Introduction and Appendices.  Chapter 3 includes the constrained TIP as well as the constrained Plan project listings.
