Data Collection/Analysis

• Traffic Counts

	Approved traffic counts are available at NHDOT's website: (http://www.nh.gov/dot/org/operations/traffic/documents.htm).
	NHDOT maintains a Transportation Data Management System, a "web-based interactive map allows users to customize searches, and directly view and download traffic count data." located at their website.
	LRPC performs from 150-200 traffic counts a year, using a schedule developed by the DOT. By request, LRPC can do additional counts and update a road inventory for a member. Please contact us for details. LRPC is also available to conduct turning movement counts and speed counts on paved roads.

• Land Use

Land use and transportation are closely related; a change in one aspect could influence the other. LRPC has conducted transportation studies in order to understand the current land use/transportation relationship along vital stretches of the Lakes Region highways. These efforts help support decision making by providing a detailed understanding of how land use effects transportation and vise versa, now and in the future.

• Culvert/Stream Assessment Program ​

Stream Assessment is a useful tool in sharing asset condition and location for coordinating local projects. Data collection includes: culvert and headwall materials, size, and condition, sediment build-up, scouring and other attributes. 
NH Aquatic Restoration Mapper- This is a tool that has been developed for the review of Road and Stream Crossings and can be particularly useful for prioritizing mitigation and prioritization efforts. It identifies some intersections between natural resources and transportation. 
 

• Road Surface Management System (RSMS)
• A comprehensive review of road network surface condition. Useful in programming improvements and to model funding impacts on pavement condition index (PCI) over time.  A perfect complement for your community’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) or Capital Improvements Program (CIP).
