The RPC MPO jointly develops Coordinated Public Transit/Human Services Transportation Plan for the Greater Manchester-Derry-Salem region (RCC Region 8) with the Southern NH Planning Commission (SNHPC). This region includes all 14 communities in the SNHPC planning region plus the RPC communities of Atkinson, Danville, Hampstead, Plaistow, Salem, and Sandown.
The full Coordination Plan document is available to read online or download from the RPC website at www.therpc.org/TransitCoordinationPlans. The Draft Coordination Plan has been approved the Greater Manchester-Derry-Salem RCC, and reviewed by the RPC MPO Technical Advisory Committee which recommended adoption by the MPO. The Plan will be presented at the October 12th meeting of the MPO and a vote taken on adoption.

2021-12-14 - FY 2021 Annual List of Obligated Projects
Federal Transportation funds spent in the MPO Region
The List of Obligated Projects is an annual statement by the Metropolitan Planning Organization detailing the expenditure of federal transportation funds in the region. When the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) obligate funds, the agencies are committing federal resources to a specific transportation project, grant, or transit system. While obligations do not line up exactly with active construction of roadway projects, they do provide insight into what projects are being prepared for construction (engineering and design), are in construction, or have been recently completed. The 2021 Annual Listing of Obligated Projects has been published and details how the $119.7 million of federal funding obligated in the region was distributed to projects, programs, and transit agencies.
