RE:   H.R. No. 53

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Eighth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2016

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Tourism, to which was referred H.R. No. 53 entitled:

 

"HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE VISITOR INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, AND THE VEHICLE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM INDUSTRY TO ENCOURAGE USE OF THE LAHAINA BYPASS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to alleviate traffic congestion in the busy area of West Maui, reduce wear and tear on existing roads in the much traveled Lahaina area, save travel time, lessen fuel consumption, and make for a less stressful travel experience for all by urging the visitor industry, government agencies, and the vehicle global positioning system industry to encourage the use of the Lahaina Bypass.

 

     The Department of Transportation; West Maui Taxpayers Association, Inc.; and a concerned individual supported this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 53 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Transportation.

 

 

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