Have Good Alternative Modes of Transportation Ideas? Submit Them

The Hawai‘i State Department of the Transportation Highways Division is requesting applications and requests for information for the Transportation Alternatives Program funding for fiscal years 2022-2026.

Eligible projects include on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle routes and facilities, improving non-driver (e.g., children, elderly, handicapped, rural) access to public transportation, enhanced safety features, community improvement activities, and environmental mitigation.
