Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 44 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this resolution is to request the collaboration between the Department of Transportation and the Executive Office in order to formulate and implement a program similar to the Independent Transportation Network. The program would provide transportation to seniors who can no longer drive safely, and to visually impaired persons of any age, through a public and private partnership. Also that the Hawaii State Legislature express its support for federal legislation to provide funding for ITN America for a five year national roll-out and grants.

The Executive Office on Aging testified in support of this resolution.

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.R. No. 44 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
