A Safer Road to Tomorrow
Involvement in causes and organizations outside of the AGC of NH is essential to strengthen relationships, and increase awareness about critical issues. One such cause is raising awareness about the importance of adequate roads and bridges. Currently, AGC of NH is partner in the A Safer Road to Tomorrow coalition. A Safer Road to Tomorrow is a merger of six organizations that have a vested interest in maintaining the condition of the state’s roadways.
The organization was launched in 2004, and was created to inform New Hampshire residents about the nature and scope of deficiencies in the state’s highway and bridges, and their immediate and long term impact on public safety, the economy, and quality of life. Each year, A Safer Road to Tomorrow produces a quarterly newsletter, calendar, and informative booklets. These materials serve as educational tools to reach the driving public and inform them about the effect of poor roads and bridges. For more information, please visit www.saferoadsnh.com.

Building America's Future
Here in New Hampshire, rebuilding our aging infrastructure is one of the most important missions we face in the 21st century. We have a responsibility to our own children and grandchildren to pass on to them a state whose best days are still ahead.
Today, we have the opportunity to make sure our infrastructure will meet the demands of the 21st century. We need a long-term plan – both through the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Intermodal Transportation (GACIT) and reauthorization of the federal transportation law – to refocus our infrastructure priorities, improve accountability, and find innovative solutions to tackling our deteriorating infrastructure. This plan must look ahead to ensure our hard earned dollars meet today’s short term problems and the needs of future generations.
Everyone knows New Hampshire faces serious infrastructure issues. Years of neglect and poor planning have caused our roadways and bridges to become some of the worst in the country. Not only on our congested interstates like I-93, but also on the thousands of miles of crumbling rural roads and hundreds of structurally deficient bridges like the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth.
New Hampshire’s infrastructure strains go beyond just transportation. Energy costs have skyrocketed as our electric grid can barely keep up with demand. This issue, along with our roads, has caused New Hampshire to lose its competitive edge when attracting new businesses and new jobs. Unless we make significant changes in our course and direction, our infrastructure will continue to deteriorate and a real opportunity to restore New Hampshire’s economy will be lost. We deserve better.
To put us on a better path, BAF-NH supports:
In sum, New Hampshire must embark on a new mission—one that requires leadership and vision from our elected leaders. To achieve this we will need a bipartisan alliance of New Hampshire leaders who believe we can achieve anything, can build anything, and can do anything we put our minds to—and who will in turn, convince our citizens that this course is not an option but a necessity to preserve our future strength and success.
