Dover, NH: COAST, the nonprofit provider of public transit services on the Seacoast, recently published a summary of the financial contributions being made by the communities that are connected by their services.

Dover, NH: Cooperative Alliance for Seacoast Transportation, more commonly known as COAST, will see its funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) reduced by $341,980 overall for FY24. The decrease is a result of changes in the calculations that determine apportionments coupled with increased growth in urbanized areas nationwide that outpaced overall funding increases.

COAST Executive Director Rad Nichols was a recent guest of Chris Parker on the Dover Download Podcast.
