GENERAL INFORMATION
Message from CommissionerAs Commissioner for the Department of
Transportation, I have the privilege of working with a dedicated team of employees who are committed to providing transportation excellence enhancing the quality of life in New Hampshire. Our talented transportation professionals work to provide a safe, efficient, reliable, and well maintained transportation network that meets the needs of the travelling public and supports the movement of goods.
As a Public agency it is also essential that we be transparent and strive to effectively communicate with stakeholders. For this reason the Department’s goal is to clearly convey the message of what we do, why we do it, and what value our operation has to the public. It is particularly important to communicate what level of service can be expected with different levels of resources and financial investment. The complexity of the transportation system, as well as the complexities of operating and construction funding, does make it challenging to explain our priorities and capabilities.
This Fact Book is intended to be a resource for Legislators and other stakeholders. It provides information on who we are, how we are structured, which assets we are responsible for, and what

funding is available for transportation. It also provides some current statistics on safety, condition and use of the system. For more information about the Department, I encourage you to reach out using the contact information available in the booklet.
Lastly, I want to thank every DOT employee for their service to the State of New Hampshire. The leadership team at the Department truly believes that our employees are our greatest asset. With limited resources, it is their ingenuity and steadfast commitment to our mission that ensures our ongoing success.

Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan Process (Ten Year Plan)
The New Hampshire Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan (RSA 240) was established by Governor John Sununu to serve as the guideline for planning and developing transportation projects in the state. Managing New Hampshire’s Transportation System requires a complex balancing of priority transportation needs at the local, regional, and statewide levels within the limited available resources.
The Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan, updated every other year, is the result of a collaborative interactive process. With the previous Ten Year Plan as a starting point, the process includes input from the local level, development of Transportation Improvement Plans (TIPs) by nine Regional Planning Commissions (RPCs), numerous public hearings by the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Intermodal Transportation (GACIT), then review and approval by the Governor and Legislature. The complete Plan is then adopted into law.

SAFETY
HSIP InformationThe goal of the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
is to reduce the number and severity of crashes on all public roads, with an emphasis on fatal and serious injury crashes. The NHDOT receives approximately $10 million annually as a portion of our federal highway funding, which is invested in infrastructure safety improvements to achieve that goal. Using statewide crash data, NHDOT evaluates and prioritizes locations for safety improvements to ensure HSIP funds are expended effectively. Safety projects are introduced into the HSIP by one of three methods:
• Spot Improvements: Crash ‘hot spots,’ which can include intersections or road segments, are identified using crash data. Typical intersection improvements can include the addition of turning lanes or signals, or the conversion to a roundabout. Typical road segment improvements can include the elimination of sharp curves or visibility obstructions. These projects would generally involve a medium to large investment at an individual location.
• Systemic Improvements: Rather than focusing on locations with known crashes, these improvements are meant to address certain highway features proactively before crashes occur. Typical systemic projects include the installation of curve warning signs or rumble strips on rural highways, because crashes are known to be more common in these locations. These projects would generally involve low-cost improvement measures installed over a wide area or in many locations.
15
SAFETY
• Road safety audits: The NHDOT works with communities to address highway safety concerns identified by the communities. The NHDOT, in collaboration with the community and other interested stakeholders, evaluates the safety issues at a site and produces a program of short, medium, and long-term improvement alternatives for implementation via the HSIP.
As part of the HSIP, the NHDOT also administers the State’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). The SHSP is the comprehensive and collaborative vision of State, Federal, and private safety stakeholders for the advancement of highway safety, and encompasses both the infrastructure initiatives explained above and non-infrastructure initiatives targeted at improving the many behavioral factors that affect highway safety. The non-infrastructure critical emphasis areas included in the SHSP include the following: impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, vehicle occupant protection, teen traffic safety, older drivers, vulnerable roadway users, comprehensive safety data improvements, and education and public outreach.

New Hampshire Construction Cost IndexWhat $1 dollar of Construction bought in 2000...
now costs more than $2 in 2018
The NH Construction Cost Index (NHCCI) is a way to monitor how much construction materials like structural steel and asphalt cost. The NHCCI is affected by normal inflation in the economy as well as other pressures in the industry. While there are increases and decreases on a year to year basis the overall trend is up significantly since the year 2000.

Bridge Life CycleAs each bridge ages, specific needs and deficiencies develop
that should be addressed. Performing specific tasks at the right time can greatly extend the service life of a bridge. NHDOT monitors the condition of both state and municipal bridges to determine when the different tasks are most appropriate. For bridges in poor condition, the required tasks are usually substantial rehabilitation or replacement. Poor condition bridges are also identified through the State and Municipal Red Lists. NHDOT inspects every bridge routinely to ensure that they remain safe even as the condition deteriorates. Any safety concern is immediately reviewed and appropriate action is taken, up to and including the closure of a bridge.

NHDOT Highway Tiers – DefinitionsTier 1 – Interstates, Turnpikes, and Divided HighwaysDefinition – These highways support the highest traffic volumes and speeds in the state. Divided highways convey the majority of commuter, tourist, and freight traffic throughout the state.
Tier 2 – Statewide CorridorsDefinition – Corridors, like US 4, US 202 or NH 16, carry passengers and freight between regions of the state as well as to and from neighboring states. These roads can have moderate to high traffic volumes.
Tier 3 – Regional Transportation CorridorsDefinition – These highways like NH 112, NH 10 and NH 108 provide travel within regions, access to statewide corridors, and support moderate traffic volumes at moderate speeds.
Tier 4 – Local ConnectorsDefinition – Secondary highways and unnumbered routes like NH 141 and Bean Road in Moultonborough are local connectors and they provide travel between and within communities.
Tier 5 – Local RoadsDefinition – Locally owned roads and bridges or State owned roads within compact limits provide varying travel functions and are maintained by communities.

Highway SystemsBy NH law the highway system is divided into Class
1-6 highways. Class 1 and Class 2 highways include the Interstate System and the majority of other roads that are the responsibility of NHDOT. Class 3 roads are generally related to recreation. Class 4 and 5 highways are under the jurisdiction of municipalities and are generally known as local roads. Class 6 highways are not maintained for use. Overall there are 16,619 miles of public roads in NH.
Federal Aid Eligible RoadsBased on federal rules only certain roads can receive federal
funds. The Interstate System and National Highway System described below are both entirely eligible. Overall there are 3,460 miles of eligible roads managed by NHDOT. For all other roads managed by NHDOT (1,142 miles) only state funds can be used for improvements and repairs.
Interstate Highway System
• Authorized through the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 the original system included Interstates 89, 93, and 95 through NH. Interstates 293 and 393 were added through later expansions to the system. Interstates are our busiest and most robust highways, connecting NH to the rest of New England and beyond. NHDOT has responsibility for the Interstate System in NH which is about 381 miles.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
35
National Highway System
• The National Highway System (NHS) is a broader designation of highways and includes the Interstate Highway System along with other highways that connect regional population and commercial hubs. Also included are highways that connect motor vehicles to airports and facilities for transit and rail. Roads like NH 101, NH 9, NH 16, and US 302 are part of the NHS. The NHS is about 1,480 miles and is predominantly managed by NHDOT with portions that are within designated compact sections managed by municipalities.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
36
Turnpike SystemLayout of the Turnpike System is the responsibility of the NH
Legislature. Beginning operations in 1950, the Turnpike System now consists of 89 miles of limited access highway comprising a total of approximately 658 total lane miles, 172 bridges, 49 interchanges, and 26 facilities. The Turnpike System is reported as an enterprise fund within the State with the primary source of revenue generated from toll collection.
Blue Star Turnpike (I-95)The Blue Star Turnpike segment, also designated as I-95,
extends from the Massachusetts state line in Seabrook to the Maine state border in Portsmouth. Two toll plazas are located in Hampton, one for main line traffic and one for vehicles entering and leaving the Turnpike System at Route 101. Hampton also has a maintenance facility.
Spaulding TurnpikeThe Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16) segment extends from the
traffic circle in Portsmouth to Exit 18 in Milton. It is 33.2 miles long and is a part of the major north-south artery connecting the three major urban centers on the eastern side of the state. There are toll plazas and maintenance facilities in Dover and Rochester.
Central Turnpike (F.E. Everett Turnpike)The Central Turnpike, commonly known as the F.E. Everett
Turnpike, extends from the Massachusetts state line in Nashua
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
37
to Exit 14 in Concord. Its distance is 39.5 miles and, in part, constitutes portions of Interstates 93 and 293. Five toll plazas are located on the Central Turnpike: two at Hooksett (main line and ramp), a main line plaza in Bedford, and ramp plazas in Merrimack at Exits 10 and 11. There are maintenance facilities in Nashua, Merrimack and Hooksett. The Welcome Centers in Hooksett along the Turnpike are an example of a Public Private Partnership.

Traffic VolumesVehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
At a statewide scale the NHDOT turns traffic counts into Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) which provides a measure of how many miles are traveled on the highway system. While only a relatively small portion of the highway system, the interstates and turnpikes carry the largest proportion of the VMT. Since 2015 VMT has been steadily increasing.

Active TransportationEncompassing walking and bicycling, active transportation
is focused on enabling and encouraging methods of transportation that also promote health and wellness. NHDOT promotes active transportation through our project designs and our Complete Streets Advisory Committee (CSAC). The CSAC includes representatives from other agencies, advocacy groups, and the public to advise NHDOT on priority locations and building projects that create safe and welcoming environments for bicyclists, pedestrians, transit users, and other participants in active transportation.
