Plan NH Webinar | Housing, Transportation, & The Link Between The Two

All of New Hampshire has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Join Plan NH for the last of a 3-part series looking at the pandemic’s effect on our communities and the built environment.

Housing and transportation have both been underappreciated for decades, and the pandemic has revealed how important they are to thousands across the Granite State. And some are now realizing that you cannot think about one without taking into consideration the other.

In this webinar, we will hear from George Reagan of New Hampshire Housing, Scott Bogle, Transportation Planner at Rockingham Planning Commission, and Sylvia Von Aulock, Executive Director of the Southern NH Planning Commission, as they weigh in with their respective views.

We will hear about the following (among other key points)

- How livelihoods have been affected and what this means for paying rent or mortgages
- The pandemic’s effects on people without a place to live
- Why communities need to be flexible in land-use regulations related to housing
- How COVID has affected the volunteer driver programs in areas without public transportation
- The effects on public and private transportation agencies- and the people who use them
- The surges in walking and bicycling
- How broadband is critical going forward - for telecommuting and more

This webinar is for planners, for municipal staff and leaders, as well as designers and builders who shape our New Hampshire's places.
