STAND. COM. REP. 1387

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: H.C.R. No. 188

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 188 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING FLYER STOPS WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF OAHU'S H-2 FREEWAY AND CONNECTING TO PARK-AND-RIDE FACILITIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to seek solutions to Central Oahu's growing transportation problem by requesting a study on the feasibility of establishing flyer stops within the right-of-way of the H-2 Freeway and connecting to park-and-ride facilities.

Mililani Neighborhood Board No. 25 and a concerned individual testified in support of this concurrent resolution. The Department of Transportation opposed this measure.

Your Committee finds that flyer stops are freeway bus stations that allow passengers to board buses in an area directly adjacent to the freeway. This could reduce travel time since buses would not need to exit the freeway to pick up passengers.

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. 188 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

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