HCPC Provides an array of transportation services to towns in Hancock County.
Programs at HCPC:
We help towns find effective solutions to local and regional transportation problems, and assist with applications for state and federal funding. Our staff is experienced in bringing the resources of towns, the Department of Transportation, and the HCPC together in efforts to address a wide range of transportation issues including coordinated improvement schemes to major transportation corridors and development of alternative modes such as ferries and bus transportation.
MDOT Updates
Work Plan. The Maine Department of Transportation has published the Work Plan for 2021-2022-2023. You can access the workplan in a variety of ways; read the pdf of the document, view proposed projects on the MDOT Map Viewer, or search the interactive plan for projects in a specific municipality.
Highway Corridor Priorities (HCP) and Customer Service Levels (CSL). These two parts make up MaineDOT's methodology to provide a fair, structured framework to prioritize programs and projects. http://www.maine.gov/mdot/about/assets/hwy/ This page describes and explains how each road in the state is given an HCP ranging from 1 to 6. The CSL’s are used to rate three areas of each roadway consisting of Safety, Condition, and Service. Each is rated on an A to F scale based on various factors described on the page.
