PCDP - Project Priority list (Rev 1-10-2014 )

Home

Description: Subcommittee main focus of the subcommittee is to implement a public bus routing strategy that would circulate busses between hubs (Hilo - Kea'au; Kea'au — Pahoa; Kea'au — Volcano) with secondary routes that would deliver passengers to the hub terminals or to the main corridors. This routing pattern is recommended in the Puna Community Development Plan (PCDP) and has the authority of ordinance, and thus is the obligate purpose of the subcommittee. Insufficient funding levels at MTA and demands for bus service to un- served areas dilutes the Hub - and -Spoke model so that such a system has not yet been implemented. Project Budget: • 2014 Budget Request: "Increase of bicycle carrying capacity of buses in Puna to 4" $30,000 A/C Tasks Completed to date: • A subcommittee on Mass Transit is operating and active. • Established an advisory team to co- ordinate discussions with Mass Transit Department - members have met with MTA director, Ms Kai, with an understanding that the PCDP Subcommittee is the authoritative voice for Puna residents, and a hope that MTA will not dilute routes and schedules in the future. A/C Next Action Item: • Subcommittee members to engage in discussions about bus shelter design, designated and marked bus stops, and increasing schedules to accommodate workers and students who live in distant areas.
