MASS TRANSIT AGENCY EXHIBIT A-1 PROJECT BUDGET COUNTY OF HAWAI'I MASS TRANSIT AGENCY SCOPE OF WORK I. APPLICANT INFORMATION: A. Brief history of the applicant organization. Include the date of incorporation as a non-profit organization, if applicable, or the date of the organization (use attachments where appropriate): PATH is a grassroots 501(c)(3) non-profit bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization incorporated on June 5th, 1986. Our mission is to safely connect people and places on Hawai'i Island with pathways and bikeways. PATH believes that a sustainable island and a healthy population require safe places to walk and bicycle, to and from school, to the shoreline and mountains, to work and to play. Founded in 1986, PATH's focus is on traffic safety education and creating a safe environment on roadways and trails for recreation, fitness and alternative modes of transportation. PATH has created a number of first -in -the -state in -school bicycle and pedestrian safety programs. PATH also facilitates a thriving Safe Routes to School program that addresses traffic safety education and safety improvement in school zones across the island. In 2015, the County of Hawai'i Department of Research and Development asked PATH to launch and manage the HIBIKE project in the County of Hawaii. We established Bikeshare Hawai'i Island, now called HIBIKE, a non-profit model project, as a low-cost, flexible transportation service that provides on -demand access to a network of rentable bicycles. With authorization from the Hawai'i County Council, the County funded the HIBIKE pilot project with $250,000 and launched on August 29, 2016 with 3 stations and 32 bicycles in Kona. The HIBIKE system was expanded in August 2019 to include 4 stations and 36 bicycles in Hilo and 3 additional stations and 27 bicycles in Kona. The total system now consists of 23 stations and 175 bicycles and 30 e-bikes.
