Complete Streets Advisory Committee (CSAC)

To support bicycling, walking and transit as safe, convenient, and sustainable forms of transportation that increase New Hampshire’s livability, increase economic activity, and improve public and environmental health.

Statewide Trails Advisory Committee (STAC)

The Statewide Trails Advisory Committee exists for the purpose of advising the Director of Parks and Recreation on matters related to the New Hampshire statewide trail system.  A primary function is to determine the distribution of the federal Recreational Trails Program (RTP) funds of about $1M/year.  Currently, 30% must be allocated for motorized recreation, 30% non-motorized and 40% for shared uses. The members of the committee equally represent the general public and organizations having motorized and non-motorized interests.
