This bill, known as the "State of New Hampshire Ten Year Transportation Improvement Plan 2027-2036," aims to enhance the state's transportation infrastructure through various projects, including the Albany project for intersection safety improvements with a budget of $6,824,313 scheduled for construction in 2033. It introduces new toll rates for different vehicle classifications on the New Hampshire turnpike system, effective January 1, 2027, with specific rates outlined for several toll plazas. The bill also mandates periodic toll adjustments based on the New Hampshire Department of Transportation's projected inflation index and includes provisions for the issuance of New Hampshire E-Z Pass transponders at no cost for a limited time to incentivize account openings.

Key amendments to existing law include the establishment of new toll rates, the transfer of land for the reconstruction of the Gregg Mill Road Bridge, and the repeal of RSA 237:11, V, which provided an E-Z Pass discount. The bill incorporates gender-neutral language in references to the governor and treasurer and specifies that compensation for land transfers must reflect fair market value, with funds deposited into the land conservation endowment fund. Additionally, it outlines various infrastructure improvement projects across multiple towns, focusing on safety enhancements, pedestrian infrastructure, and stormwater management, with allocated funding for significant projects on I-293 and Interstate 93.
