B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
FHWA approved and issued Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funds to the County of Hawaii
Department of Public Works, TAP-0100(086), Expansion of Hawaii Island Bikeshare Project.
This project expands the existing Hawaii Island Bikeshare system in Kailua-Kona and Hilo. Currently there
are 7 stations in Kailua-Kona and 4 stations in Hilo. The funds will be used to purchase, ship, and install
approximately 15 additional stations (105 bicycles) islandwide to contribute to the expansion of the Hawaii
County system. This project improves non-driver access to public transportation and enhances mobility,
improves community health and air quality, and increases environmental mitigation through the reduction of
fossil fuel usage.
This project will be managed by the Peoples Advocacy for Trails Hawaii (PATH), an organization that has
been an advocate for multi-modal transportation and the development of interconnected bike lanes, trails,
and sidewalks to provide a healthy and green alternative to automobile use. Bikeshare as a multi-modal tool
is attractive, safe, comfortable, convenient, accessible, and environmentally friendly.
The County's initial pilot project was launched in 2016 creating 3 stations in Kona, then expanded in 2019
creating an additional 4 stations in Kailua-Kona and 4 stations in Hilo.
