Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 188 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Transportation (DOT) 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.

With Oahu's traffic congestion steadily worsening, your Committee believes that the State must explore every possible avenue to encourage our residents to use public transportation. The creation of flyer stops within the right-of-way of Oahu's H-2 freeway and connecting to park-and-ride facilities may make it easier for commuters to use the bus, and therefore your Committee agrees that the idea is worth reviewing further.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 188, and recommends its adoption.
