As of March 31, 2020, COAST has temporarily suspended all fixed route service. The suspension of service will remain in place until May 4 and may be extended if the pandemic conditions warrant. COAST will continue to operate paratransit services for those individuals who qualify under the various programs of this type that COAST operates (ADA, Portsmouth Senior Transportation, Community Rides, and accessible rides for Ready Rides).

As of the end of the business day on Monday, March 16 and effective until otherwise directed City Hall is closed to the public. If you are submitting an application for an upcoming meeting, we will continue to accept applications and payments through the Planning Department’s online permitting system.

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, all land use board and commission meetings scheduled for the next two weeks have been postponed until further notice. Please check the Planning Department web page to confirm status or contact the Planning Department directly at (603) 610-7216 or email planning@cityofportsmouth.com.
