The Nashua Regional Planning Commission (NRPC), the oldest of New Hampshire’s nine regional planning commissions and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Greater Nashua area, successfully implemented ProjectTracker in 2025 to modernize its project management, increase public transparency, and enhance regional collaboration across its 13 member municipalities. Established in 1959, NRPC facilitates transportation, land use, GIS, and economic planning across Nashua, Hudson, Amherst, Brookline, Hollis, Litchfield, Lyndeborough, Mason, Merrimack, Milford, Mont Vernon, Pelham, and Wilton.
Challenges
- Fragmented tracking of multimodal transportation projects across jurisdictions.
- Complexity in coordinating data between local, state, and federal planning processes.
- Limited public access to consolidated, real-time project information.
- Time-consuming manual reporting workflows for MPO-required documents like the TIP and MTP.
Solution
- Adopted ProjectTracker to aggregate planning data from the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Long‑Range Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), and New Hampshire Ten‑Year Plan into a centralized dashboard.
- Enabled interactive, map-based public portals housing real-time project updates and GIS overlays, leveraging NRPC’s existing GIS and mapping infrastructure.
- Streamlined internal workflows for drafting and updating federally required documents such as the FY 2025–2028 TIP.
