Concurrent Initiatives

Rebuilding I-93 is more than just a roadway and bridge construction project. NHDOT, FHWA and OEP have invested in several other concurrent initiatives that will continue to maintain and improve the quality of life in New Hampshire. These initiatives include:

• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refers to a broad range of diverse technologies applied to transportation to improve safety, ease congestion and relate traffic information to the public.
• The primary goals of a Traffic Incident Management Plan (TIMP) are to quickly detect incidents, relay information to the public, restore normal traffic flow as soon as possible, provide for multi-agency collaboration and comply with New Hampshire's Quick Clearance policy.
• Service Patrol – Pilot Program Implementation: As part of the I-93 Traffic Incident Management Plan, implementing the use of Service Patrols was identified as a highly beneficial tool to reduce the potentially significant impacts of otherwise minor incidents. NHDOT implemented a Service Patrol through a pilot program starting May 1, 2008. The feedback from the public and media was overwhelmingly positive, as were the benefits that were realized, spurring the Department to investigate options to continue the service indefinitely.
• The Transit Investment Study looked at a wide range of alternative means of providing transit through the I-93 Corridor with consideration given to local land use policies that impact growth in the region and the potential for transit-friendly land use. A Final Report of findings and recommendations will be issued in December 2008.
• The NHDOT hosted the I-93 Improvements Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer (ACTT) workshop in February 2006. During the workshop, methods and measures to help NHDOT achieve its goals of maximizing mobility and safety, and reducing construction time and costs were examined and evaluated.

• The Community Technical Assistance Program (CTAP) is helping communities meet the wide range of challenges faced in the I-93 corridor by providing technical assistance and access to tools for innovative land use planning.
• The NHDOT is working to protect the environment through wetland mitigation. The Department has committed $3M in funding to the NHDES Drinking Water Supply Land Grant Program, $3.5M funding for CTAP to assist communities by addressing growth and development associated with the corridor improvement, and is funding a chloride surface water quality study conducted by the NHDES.
