1. New England Transportation Consortium (NETC)
A. Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Rhode Island have formed the New England
Transportation Consortium (NETC). One of the efforts of the NETC was to develop
procedures for issuing multi-state permits for non-divisible overdimensional
and non-divisible overweight combination vehicles engaged in interstate travel
within the five states. Maine BMV issues permits only for New Hampshire
pursuant to a bilateral agreement.
B. Under these procedures, multi-state
permits may be obtained only for combination vehicles and loads not exceeding
the following limits:
(1) 108,000 lbs. on
five axles;
(2) 120,000 lbs. on six
or more axles;
(3) 90 feet overall
length;
(4) 13 feet 6 inches
overall height; and
(5) 14 feet in
width with an additional 6 inches of eavewidth on mobile or modular home
components only providing the greater overhang is on the right hand shoulder of
the highway.
(See the Department of the Secretary of State Rule Chapter 155 for more information)
2. Northeast Oversize Overweight Permit Agreement (NOOPA)
A. The Northeast
Association of State Transportation Officials (NASTO) has organized a regional
permitting agreement among all States and Provinces in the Northeast region.
The envelope vehicle size is the same as the NETC. Each state or province in
the agreement approves its portion of the route. Each affected jurisdiction
returns their approved permit to the managing permit service. The permit
service generates a single document for the permittee.
