EXPLANATION

The Department requests authorization to transfer budgeted account funds among various classes to continue to

meet the State’s transportation demands. Specific explanations relating to the Department’s spending requests

are as follows:

Safety Office (3174) 46.7% Federal Funds, 50.0% Highway Funds, 3.3% Other Funds

Class 020 Decrease Current Expenses $15,000. Expenses in this class will be managed to accommodate this

requested transfer.

Class 069 Increase Promotional Marketing Expense by $15,000. Additional funding is requested in this class

to allow the Safety Office to participate in the NH Fisher Cats marketing / outreach campaign to

promote the Driving Toward Zero (DTZ) program.

The following is provided in accordance with the Budget Officer’s instructional memorandum dated April 17,

1985, to support the above requested actions:

1. Does transfer involve continuing programs or one-time projects?

This transfer is for continuing programs (not one-time).

2. Is this transfer required to maintain existing program level, or will it increase program level?

This transfer is to maintain existing program levels (no increase in program level).

3. Cite any requirements which make this program necessary.

RSA 21-L:2, in part, establishes that the Department will be responsible for planning,

developing, and maintaining a state transportation network. This transfer will facilitate the

accomplishment of this responsibility.

4. Identify the source of funds on all accounts listed on this transfer.

The source of funds are Federal Funds, Highway Funds and Other Funds.

5. Will there be any effect on revenue if this transfer is approved or disapproved?

This transfer will have no effect on revenue.

6. Are funds expected to lapse if this transfer is not approved?

Federal funds will not lapse but all other funds will lapse.

7. Are personal services involved?

This transfer does not result in any new positions.

Your approval of this resolution is respectfully requested.

Sincerely,

David M. Rodrigue, P.E.

Commissioner
