The purpose of this measure is to urge the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transit (HART) to determine cost-effective and revenue-generating ridership levels for the rail transit system.

The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) provided comments.

     Your committee finds that more definitive information on the number of riders per day is needed to determine the cost-effectiveness and revenue-generation potential of the Honolulu Rapid Transit project.
