N.H. group encourages look at bigger picture in transportation [Boston.com]

The report also points out that about one in four New Hampshire residents does not drive for health or age reasons

The report said fewer than 30 of the state's 234 municipalities have fixed bus routes

The report said that 20,000 New Hampshire residents "have lost a job or been turned down for a job because they didn't have a reliable ride."

New Hampshire ranks 42nd in state spending for public transportation.

Any hope that the state will re-evaluate participation in the Boston to Montreal High Speed Rail project?

The article didn't say anything about specific rail projects such as Boston-Montreal high speed or commuter rail to Nashua and Manchester. One would sure hope they'd decide to step up on that. It will help with the concerns they have for tourist traffic in the Lakes Region.
