Grafton-Coos Regional Coordinating Council
North Country Council (NCC), Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission (UVLSRPC), Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC), and a number of other stakeholders have been working together to form the Grafton-Coos Regional Coordinating Council (GCRCC).
In New Hampshire, the Governor’s Taskforce on Community Transportation was established through a Governor's Executive Order in 2004 to create an affordable and accessible transportation infrastructure for New Hampshire citizens. This group developed recommendations and policies to guide the development of a “seamless” transportation system that connects system users from one part of the state to another. These recommendations and other findings were published in the Statewide Coordination of Community Transportation Services report that was developed by Nelson-Nygaard Consulting Services (2006).
One of the key parts of developing this “seamless transportation system” is forming the Regional Coordinating Councils (RCC) around the state. The RCCs will be comprised primarily of organizational members, but could include regional representatives of funding agencies and service providers. This entity will work with providers to create local service designs, implement coordination policies, and provide feedback to the Statewide Coordinating Council relative to policies. It is expected that the Regional Planning Commissions (RPC) will review the RCCs’ recommendations for the selection of the Regional Transportation Coordinators and other decisions. Currently, the SCC and the RPCs are working to define that relationship and responsibilities. Efforts are currently underway to establish RCCs statewide.
