The Department does not advocate. The legislature sets policy and the Department carries out policy and projects. The “Advocate’s” Guide (Stakeholder’s Guide) began with a Design and Maintenance Subcommittee, one of a dozen priority projects identified in 2013 by the Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Advisory Committee (BPTAC). Through the Stakeholder’s Guide, stakeholders can better understand the project planning & programming process and thereby can participate in the process. The RSG contract to develop the Guide is supported by FHWA and funded by Federal State Planning and Research funds. NH 3A, Hebron, July 17, 2015 Jan Collins of Newfound Pathways
