Governor Hassan's Statement on Passage of Ten-Year Transportation Plan

Press Release

Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement after the New Hampshire House of Representatives and the New Hampshire Senate passed the committee of conference version of House Bill 2016, relative to the state's Ten-Year Transportation Improvement Plan:

"A solid, modern transportation infrastructure is critical to the success of our people, our businesses and our state, and the Ten-Year Transportation Plan passed in both the House and Senate today addresses several important projects that will strengthen our transportation infrastructure and boost our economy. This includes maintaining and preserving our roads and bridges, completing the widening of Interstate 93, accelerating construction of Exit 4A in Londonderry and Derry and beginning the first phase of widening the portion of Route 106 critical for access to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

"While I am disappointed that this plan does not leverage federal funds for the environmental and engineering work necessary to bring commuter rail from Boston to Nashua and Manchester, I look forward to signing this bipartisan legislation as soon as possible because it advances many other critical priorities that will allow us to strengthen and modernize our transportation infrastructure across the state."
