County of Hawaii—State of Hawaii
Resolution No.236 82.
WHEREAS, the Hawaii County Council adopted Resolution 113-81
relating to the operation of the Hele-On Bus system in a "study
phase"; and
WHEREAS, by Resolution 113-81, the Council established that
a 50% subsidy level for each area system and rural route of the
Hele-On system, attainable through periodic fare and route
adjustment, was to be the systems' economical goal; and
WHEREAS, an initial step in approaching this 50% subsidy
level is a change in the bus fares generating system revenues to
reduce the approximate 75% - 80% subsidy by the taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, Hawaii County's Mass Transportation Agency,
following the Council's 50% subsidy directives, and
incorporating existing Hele-On zone fare concepts where fares
increase as a function of distance traveled, has developed two
fare structure (Proposals A and B) for Council consideration; and
WHEREAS, Proposal A projects an overall system subsidy of
50% based on zone fares ranging from $.55 to $5.50 established
whereby the entire system operates on a desired 50% recovery
level; and
WHEREAS, Proposal B projects an overall system subsidy of
60% based on zone fares ranging from $.50 to $4.50 established
whereby the rural and Mauna Kea Beach Hotel routes operate at a
desired 50% recovery level with the intra -Hilo and intra -Kona
systems maintain their zoned fares; and
WHEREAS, the members of the Hawaii County Council having
considered these two alternate fare proposals and Resolution
113-81, find preference in the Mass Transit Agency's Proposal B
as the more desirable and equitable first step in attaining a
11 long run 50% Hele-On system subsidy level; and
No
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the current Operating Budget
of the County already includes a doubling for transit revenues
in anticipation of needed fare adjustments,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY
OF HAWAII that it recommends the implementation of the Mass
Transportation Agency's zoned fare proposal (Proposal B) for the
Hele-On system which projects an initial overall system subsidy
of 60%.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of
Hawaii transmit a copy of this resolution to Mayor Herbert T.
Matayoshi.
Dated at Hilo, Hawaii this 3rd day of February, 1982.
