Bill No. 217, transmitted jointly with Resolution No. 143-04 by Director of Finance William'fakaba, via
Communication No. 470, dated January 2Q, 2004, amends Ordinance No. 03-91, as amended, the Operating

These funds from the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation through the Federal Transit Administration
will be used enable the County to implement a driver improvement program that will be open to all providers
within the State. Its program should cover all aspects of driver training, including equipment knowledge, behind
the wheel training, ADA requirements, and dealing with the public.
Furthermore, the RTAP funds will be used to hold two annual transportation conferences to bring people from
around this island to share and discuss needs, concerns, and best practices and to allow the transit personnel to
attend the American Public Transit Association Annual Meeting and General Manager Meeting.
Pursuant to Section 46-7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and Section 13-13(b), Hawaii County Charter, the Mayor is
hereby authorized to apply for, receive and expend the funds for a Rural Transit Assistance program.
Originally heard on February 3, 2004, this measure was previously deferred due to heavy scheduling of all
committee meetings for the day.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 217 and recommends it pass first
reading.
