Preserve Existing Infrastructure – bridges, roads

Improve Safety
Support the Economy
Transportation Factoids
• Roads in need of repair cost each NH motorist an
average of $330 annually in extra vehicle
operating costs - $300 million statewide.
• China invested last year; $108B or 9% of GDP into
Transportation Infrastructure, vs. USA will spend
1.7% GDP, with Canada 4%. GDP
• – Message is USA continues to lag behind
competing countries.
• NH “Highway Fund” includes gas tax “road toll”,
registrations and court fines:
• NH “Turnpike Fund is a separate fund (Enterprise
Account)

(GACIT)
GACIT Process
– DRAFT Plan, Financially Constrained

Work in progress
– Public Hearing Input

Regional priorities and needs
– GACIT Recommendation to Governor –

– Legislative approval – June 2014
I-93 Funding
NH’s #1 Priority
No Current Financing Plan
• $250 M Unfunded Remaining Needs Not in Ten Year Plan – Capacity
Improvements Exit 3 NB to I-293 split (excl. Exit 5)
• Financial plan delivered to FHWA – remaining I-93 project in
jeopardy without statement of legislative intent to fully fund project
• Environmental Permits lapse in 2020
• Exit 4A – not funded
• Continuing Negative Impact on Ten Year Plan – 2030

ADDITIONAL $12M PER YEAR NEEDED
1. Influenced by additional ARRA funding
2. 2004 data is not included due to known
problems with the data collection vehicle.
Average Price of Asphalt Cement
1992 to 2012
 The cost of asphalt cement increased 460% over this
period
 Diesel, gasoline, road salt increases…..
Statewide Pavement Condition
(4,559 total centerline miles 299 unrated)




19 % good condition - 828 miles
44 % fair condition - 1,867 miles
37 % poor condition - 1,565 miles
$615 million would be needed to bring all poor
condition pavements to good condition (not
including drainage, guard rail & bridges)
$3.7 billion is the estimated total value of the
state-owned pavements
Pavements are the State’s most valuable asset
other than land and bridges

NH Bridge Condition
 Red List – Bridges where one or more major
structural element is rated as poor
condition or worse, or require weight limit
posting.
 Near Red List – Bridges where one or more
major structural element is rated as fair
condition.
 Good – Bridges where no major structural
element is rated as fair or poor.
New Hampshire Red List Bridges
 Total Number of State owned bridges in 2011 = 2,143
 Additional Investment of $15m per year would repair as many as
10 bridges depending on size and conditions
2012: 11 Municipal Bridges Closed
Status and Estimated Costs – State Red List
• Ten Year Plan rehab/replace 98 of the 140 State Red List
bridges.
• $680 M (2012 dollars) to rehabilitate or replace the current
State Red List bridges.
• 100 State bridges were replaced last 10 yrs.
• Current 10-Year Plan, 98 State bridges to be replaced =10/yr.
• +200 years to replace all 2,143 State bridges.
• $7.82 Billion is the estimated total value of the state-owned
bridges

FUNDING OUTLOOK

Challenges Ahead
• Federal Reauthorization MAP-21 expires
September 2014
• Shrinking revenue from fuel efficient vehicles
and less miles traveled due to recession
• One-time solutions–Not Sustainable Funding
• Rising Costs - Petroleum based business
Increased Fuel Efficiency = Less HWY Revenue
DOT FUNDING SOURCES
• Highway Fund (road toll tax a.k.a. gas tax,
motor vehicle fees, court fees, misc.) $260 m/
year)
• -$48 m deficit FY16, -$105 m FY17
Operating Budget
• Federal Aid ($143 m/year) – Capital Budget
• General Funds: Aeronautics, Rail, Transit
($900,000/year)
• Turnpike Fund: Turnpikes only (subject to
covenants to bondholders): $117m/year tolls
One-time Non-Sustainable Operating
Funding
• FY 06-07
Surplus from Highway Fund
• FY 08-09
Bonding $60m
• FY 10-11
Registration Surcharge $90m
I-95 Transfer $50m
• FY 12-13
I-95 Transfer $52m
• FY 14 -15
I-95 Transfer $ 30m
• FY 16 -17
Deficit -$48m & - $105m
Summary
• $22m / yr. : Complete I-93 widening project $250m
• $15m / yr. : Red List Bridge additional funding
• $12m /yr. : Road Paving to repair poor roads
• $35m / yr. : Maintenance & Operations of entire
transportation system
• $20 / yr. : Municipal Road & Bridge Repair
The Roads to
New Hampshire’s Future
In light of the recent Global Competitiveness Report rankings from the World Economic Forum on
infrastructure quality which has listed the United States at 25th place—down from 9th place in
2009—such a major disruption to federal transportation investment will produce serious losses that
threaten the gradual macroeconomic recovery seen in the last few years.
