To provide public transit for the Seacoast Region.

Description:
COAST provides safe, low-cost and reliable public transportation, for eleven cities and towns in the Seacoast Region.

History:
The Cooperative Alliance for Seacoast Transportation (COAST) was established and incorporated in March of 1981 for the purpose of promoting and providing public mass transportation for Southeastern NH and to support safe, effective transportation services for those residents of the region.

In 1982 the first COAST fixed-route services were put in place between Rochester, Somersworth, Dover, Newington and Portsmouth. COAST continued to expand with additional routes to the communities of Newmarket, Farmington, Exeter, Stratham and Berwick, Maine to name a few.

In 1985 COAST was legislatively established by the New Hampshire House of Representatives under RSA 239 as an independent public body, politic and corporate, with the mission of promoting and providing public mass transportation in Southeastern New Hampshire, allowing it to become a designated recipient of federal funds.
