Winter Bike Commuters Unite!

An Upper Valley neighbor has just started an email discussion list for anyone in the Upper Valley who will commute to work this winter by bike.

Known as "uvChainGrease," the list is intended kick-off the winter commuting season.  Check out the list info page:

To subscribe, send a blank email to:

Here's hoping the list will include Associate Professor Sean Smith of the Computer Science department at Dartmouth -- one of the most avid winter bikers I know.

Meet the NH Transportation Commissioner

A public meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 14th, with New Hampshires's new Commissioner of Transportation, George Campbell.

This is Commissioner Campbell's first visit to the Upper Valley, and a great opportunity for Dartmouth employees and other community members to talk about transportation and commuting issues in the Upper Valley.  Commissioner Campbell has an extensive work experience in the public sector (see here for more information about his bio).

The meeting will be held from 4-6pm in the Lebanon Senior Center (10 Campbell Street, Lebanon, NH...click here for a map).

Hope to see you there.

Two More Van Pools Get Started

It's been quiet on the blog front, but active behind-the-scenes as work continues at Dartmouth to improve alternative commuting options for members of the Dartmouth community.

Starting next week, two additional van pools will get started.  One van pool will come from New London, NH, traveling north from I-89 and stop at the park-and-rides in New London and Grantham, NH.  The other van pool will start in Chlesea,  VT with stops in Vershire and West Fairlee, VT.

We still have two van pools in the wings from the I-89 route (Grantham, New London).  Contact Bill Barr in Parking if you are interested in joining one of these prospective van pools.
