New Hampshire's Transportation Commisioner George Campbell
By Laura Knoy on Thursday, August 21, 2008.
Just three months on the job, New Hampshire's Transportation Commissioner George Campbell heads a department heavy on projects, light on money, and burdened with high energy costs. We’ll find out what his priorities will be – for the Granite State’s highways and byways, as well as rail and other mass transit projects that might be in New Hampshire’s future.

We need to make Statewide Mass-Transit Services a reality in NH.
There is elderly growing population that will doubled by 2025-2030. It is time for the State of New Hampshire to act on passion of legislation when it comes to needs of Mass Transit Services in New Hampshire's 21st Century.
It will help those who cannot drive to afford to take taxicab services for those who is low-income, senior citizens who is on fixed incomes and people with disabilities who were institutionalized are just comming out of institution. We do not need all those cars chocking up our highways and roads.
I like to see Salem have Concord Trailways Bus Services.
I remember when HR Bill 257 the Statewide Mass-Transit Services Pease of Legislation was rejected in 1995 and I have not for gotten about that it was very disappointed for those who cannot deive.

Having lived in 13 states, I was shocked to find the lack of sidewalks and bike lanes in these busy little towns. I live on a road that connects 4 different schools in Merrimack, and the walking distance is very reasonable, but there are no sidewalks for my kids to take until they get basically onto school property. Ridiculous all year round, but dangerous in the winter when there is also no road shoulder.
