[1] COAST is a non-profit agency founded in 1981 to provide public transportation options in southeastern New Hampshire.
First established solely as a private contractor to previously existing bus lines, COAST now runs its own set of public transit routes and transports almost 500,000 passengers per year.
COAST operates a fleet of 37 vehicles, including standard transit buses, trolley replicas, cutaway vans, and accessible minivans as part of its regular service.
The Clipper Connection is the colloquial term for COAST's commuter express routes, which were launched in 2012.
A late-afternoon run servicing Dover and Rochester, originally numbered 102, was cancelled due to low ridership and re-established as an extension of Route 2 instead.
