Share your thoughts on future transportation needs

Long-Range Land Transportation Plan  Public Meetings Begin Tuesday March 10

 

HONOLULU – The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) invites everyone to share their thoughts on future land transportation needs for freight, motorists, transit, bicyclists and pedestrians as part of the Statewide Long-Range Land Transportation Plan (Plan) update.

 

The plan is HDOT’s roadmap for how to improve the transportation systems people rely on to get around through 2045. It examines current and future needs, considers issues like congestion, safety, sea‑level rise, erosion and changing travel patterns, and works with community members to identify priorities and solutions. The plan helps guide decisions about what projects to fund and how to keep critical routes safe, reliable and resilient for the future.

 

A round of public meetings on the plan in March 2025, shared plan goals and objectives and existing and forecast conditions. Surveys to solicit feedback on needs and opportunities were collected during these meetings. For the March 2026 meeting, HDOT will share the results from the surveys and outcomes from our scenario planning task, financial forecast and funding strategies.
