Monday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to New Hampshire to promote the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and how it will benefit New Hampshire, Southern New England, and the country.

Secretary Buttigieg participated in a roundtable at the Millyard Museum, with members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation, local mayors, and leaders from civic groups, business, labor and the environment, discussing funding that will be coming to the state for infrastructure and their interest in an expansion of commuter rail from the Greater Boston area to Nashua and Manchester. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invests in the resiliency and economic competitiveness of America, connecting people to new jobs through public transportation and rail, and protecting the environment by investing in low-emissions and electric vehicles.

Following the roundtable, Secretary Buttigieg participated in a press conference at Arms Park with the congressional delegation representing New Hampshire, including Senator Maggie Hassan, Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Representative Chris Pappas and Representative Annie Kuster. The event promoted the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law along with a $25 million RAISE grant the city is receiving to reconnect the Millyard district to downtown Manchester and improve safety and economic opportunities for people who drive, walk and bike.
