PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Transportation: 4.2 Mass Transit   Action 4.2.3.d (page 4-4) Provide park-and-ride lots at the transit hubs and within Hawaiian Paradise Park at <br />one or two of the proposed village/town center sites, where the community-owned parcel could serve as a parking lot for commuters, as well as a location for farmers’ markets.  (4.2.1) <br />Goals: a) Mass transportation options are increased for all Puna residents. b) Transit service and improvements reinforce and complement the development of village/town centers. <br /> 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” system, with paratransit <br />vehicles bringing passengers from outlying areas to Hele-On Bus hubs and also distributing passengers within the Hilo area. Coordinate County transit services with special needs paratransit <br />services and school transportation. Provide park-and-ride lots at key regional sites to promote commuter ridership. Strengthen County capability and resources to operate the transit <br />system and increase ridership. Ensure that pedestrians can access bus stops safely.
