Subject: Testimony in Support of Resolution 318.25
I support Resolution 318.25 providing grantfundingto PATH to support the HIBIKE bikeshare, based on the
following considerations:
• HIBIKE helps reduce traffic congestion and improve automobile and transit times.
• HIBIKE expands transportation options, increasing walking, bicycling, and enabling more people to use
transit.
• HIBIKE fills gaps in the Hele-On transit system acting as a "first/last mile" option.
• HIBIKE seamlessly integrates with the Hele-On Bus.
• HIBIKE creates an intergenerational bicycling culture in Kailua-Kona and Hilo that normalizes the bicycle for
transportation and recreation, stimulates public support for expanding bicycle infrastructure.
• Under the membership options designed with Hawai'i County residents in mind, the more you use the system
the greater the value of the membership fee, and the farther your transportation dollars invested in HIBIKE
membership goes.
