RE:   H.C.R. No. 33

 

 

 

 

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 33 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY AND CONDUCT A COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF PAVING ROADWAYS IN HAWAII WITH RUBBERIZED ASPHALT CONCRETE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Transportation to investigate the feasibility and conduct a cost-benefit analysis of paving roadways in Hawaii with rubberized asphalt concrete to derive value from used tires, to reduce the amount of this waste product in the State's waste stream, and reduce the counties' environmental clean up costs.  

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 33 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
