Transport NH

More chances to make your voice heard. Contact the governor’s office and your legislative representatives. Make sure they know what is important to you and your community and that revenues need to be increased if we are ever to meet the identified needs.

Happening right now, the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Intermodal Transportation (GACIT). This is the culmination of the public process for adopting the state’s Ten Year Transportation Plan. The plan determines NH’s investment of funds for statewide community transportation, bike/pedestrian, roads, highways, and bridges projects/improvements. after GACIT the draft plan goes to the governor and then on to the legislature for adoption in the new year. Plan updates can be found at http://www.dot.nh.gov/projects-plans-and-programs/ten-year-plan.

I was honored to join Ryan and Chase for this important conversation about how lack of transportation impacts members of our communities living with disability.

It was my honor to share the great work that NH has done to advance community transportation services for all at the Thriving Communities Network Conference hosted at USDOT. TCN like CCAM works across federal agencies to improve policy, funding opportunities and deliver technical assistance to the states. Special thanks to my FTA colleagues Danielle and Lynn and the team at the Volpe Center who organized the conference. At a time when we are so politically polarized it is important to realize how many incredible people in government are working to make our lives better.

October is for Celebrating Community Transportation in New Hampshire!
