Expand Park-and-Ride Infrastructure (TLU Action 2.B.2.e)

Expand and improve New Hampshire's park-and-ride infrastructure to support public bus transit and carpooling. In our rural/suburban state, park-and-ride lots are essential to providing effective inter-city bus service and increasing the incidence of car/van pooling to reduce the number of single-occupancy vehicle trips. The proposed action would 1) create park-and-ride lots in new locations, 2) expand existing facilities nearing capacity, 3) improve the services provided at these facilities (e.g., better shelters and restroom facilities, greater security, walkable connections to adjoining developed land uses), and 4) strengthen education and outreach efforts to increase the use of park-and-ride facilities.
