Why this matters:
This effort is part of a federally funded initiative through the NH Commission on Aging and ABLE NH’s Transportation Equity Task Force. The results will inform the state’s long-term plans to invest in better, more accessible, and more equitable transportation options.

We especially want to hear from:
People with disabilities
