In addition, the group looked at past mitigation strategies and reviewed FEMA's grant requirements. The steering committee also reviewed selected chapters from the last

The PSU model has already been used to develop LTS analyses for Manchester, Concord, Portsmouth, and a number of smaller communities. In the new project, MPOs will collect data on road attributes including bicycle lanes, on-street parking, and posted or prevailing speed limits in towns where that information has not been collected or compiled. The data will be incorporated into the model to refine its output.
If approved by the Governor and the Governor’s Advisory Council, the project will begin in December and run until November 2019.
Stay tuned for updates in future editions of Bits and Pieces and the SRPC newsletter, or take a sneak peek at the type of data we will be collecting on
