The Department of Transportation (DOT) regulates shippers and carriers of nuclear waste as well as the conditions of transport, such as routing, tie-downs, vehicle requirements, handling and storage. If waste transportation to Yucca Mountain is authorized, DOT must ensure that waste carriers comply with routing regulations and guidelines. Radioactive waste carriers must be trained to tackle a variety of transport conditions and situations which include rough terrain and severe weather conditions. Drivers must complete a First Responders Course to help them prepare for the prevention and response to any possible incident.

The Nashua Regional Planning Commission (NRPC) is one of nine New Hampshire regional planning commissions, created by the State Legislature in 1970 under RSA 36:45-53. The Commission consists of an appointed voluntary board of Commissioners from its member communities, as well as a professional planning staff. Since its formation in 1959, NRPC has provided its 12 member communities with comprehensive solutions to local environmental, land use, transportation, and regional planning issues as well as cutting edge mapping and data services. In addition, NRPC functions as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Nashua region. NRPC's ability to collaborate with multiple parties results in planning that is innovative, inclusive, technically sound, and driven by public participation. NRPC is well recognized for its exceptional service and received the 2006 Outstanding Plan Award from the Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association for its Region-wide Buildout Analysis.
