PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Transportation: 4.2 Mass Transit   Action 4.2.3.j (page 4-4) Work with Hawai'i Department of Transportation (DOT) in creating safe pedestrian conditions <br />for using mass transit.  (4.2.1) Goals: a) Mass transportation options are increased for all Puna residents. b) Transit service and improvements reinforce and complement the <br />development of village/town centers. c) A greater percentage of commuters use mass transit. (4.2.2) Objectives: Convert the present Hele-On bus routes and services to a “hub-and-spoke” <br />system, with paratransit vehicles bringing passengers from outlying areas to Hele-On Bus hubs and also distributing passengers within the Hilo area. Coordinate County transit services <br />with special needs paratransit services and school transportation. Provide park-and-ride lots at key regional sites to promote commuter ridership. Strengthen County capability and resources <br />to operate the transit system and increase ridership. Ensure that pedestrians can access bus stops safely.
