In accordance with Section 1033 of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) has developed a bicycle and pedestrian plan for the state. The bicycle element of this plan is an update of a plan produced by the Department in 1977 entitled Shared Roadway Bike Lane Study.
;
In developing the plan, specific goals and objectives were outlined. Essentially, the plan would serve to recognize, support, and encourage bicycling and walking an an alternative to motored forms of transportation and as a legitimate element of the State's broader intermodal transportation system.
;
Safety and enforcement, involving programs and education campaigns not related to the construction of actual facilities, would play an important role in the Plan. Emphasis is placed on the wearing of bicycle helmets as a means of lessening or preventing injuries to bicycle crashes and falls.
;
Although pedestrian trips are recognized as generally being more local and urban in nature in comparison to bicycle trips, pedestrians would continue to be allowed, with a few exceptions, on any public roadways or facilities, along with motor-vehicles and bicycles. Further details on pedestrian facilities and programs in local areas are contained in the regional bicycle and pedestrian plans.
