"In The Red" by Safer Roads
A state's infrastructure is its underlying foundation and basic framework. In New Hampshire, we all rely on our transportation infrastructure every day.
The Safer Roads booklet makes a strong case for the state to develop a financial plan to adequately fund the state's Ten Year Plan. The booklet very simply explains that our highway is now "in the red," showing what trends got us there, what have been their effects on our infrastructure, and what we are likely to see in the future if our past trends continue unaltered into the future. The booklet's conclusion is that the state needs to implement a financial plan to get us out of the red and on the road to a safe, sound transportation system.
We know that the consequences of not assertively formulating a financial plan will be far-reaching and touch on several important aspects of New Hampshire's quality of life. Tourism is the second largest industry in the state of New Hampshire. Further, the highway system is vital to the state's economy. And finally, safety is also impacted by infrastructure investment. The absense of adequate funding will diminish tourism, the economy, and safety in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire needs a long-term solution. Now is the time for choices. The difficult choice is for New Hampshire to develop a strategy that would attach the necessary cost to a transportation service or product in order to sufficiently finance a long-term solution for maintaining the state's infrastructure.
This 8-page booklet contains text and charts that present the case for an increase in infrastructure funding. Please take a moment and read through the history, facts, and statistics, and consider what choice the state's leaders should make in 2009.
