Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations and Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 40 entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Transportation (DOT) to conduct a study regarding the feasibility of establishing a photo red light enforcement pilot project.

Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the DOT.

The photo red light enforcement program, which would use pole-mounted cameras to photograph motorists who run red lights, has proven effective in other jurisdictions to deter red light runners. As part of its continuing commitment to public safety, your Committees support this measure, which would enable a study regarding the feasibility of a pilot project.

Your Committees amended this measure to specify that the pilot project will only take place in the City and County of Honolulu.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations and Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 40, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 40, S.D. 1.
