Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 41 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE ON AGING TO COLLABORATE ON PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION TO SENIORS AND TO VISUALLY IMPAIRED PERSONS, AND EXPRESSING THE LEGISLATURE'S SUPPORT FOR FEDERAL LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR ITNAMERICA FOR A FIVE-YEAR NATIONAL ROLL-OUT AND GRANTS,"

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to assist the elderly and visually impaired persons of Hawaii by:
(1) Requesting the Department of Transportation and the Executive Office on Aging to collaborate on providing transportation to seniors and the visually impaired; and

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 S.C.R. No. 41 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
