provided by federal funding, and $6,000,000 by the County.

A. REQUEST:
To appropriate funds to construct a maintenance and baseyard facility for the Mass Transit Agency.
$4,000,000 Federal Funds
$6,000,000 County Funds
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
he Hawaii County Mass Transit Agency (the "Transit Agency ") received $4,000,000 in
Federal funds as part of the State of Good Repair Grant for the specified purpose of the construction of a
much needed maintenance and baseyard facility for the Transit Agency. The requested additional
$6,000,000 in County funds is necessary to cover additional expenses associated with environmental
clearances, engineering and design, as well as to cover the remaining construction cost.
Currently, the Transit Agency shares its maintenance and baseyard facility with a number of other County
agencies and divisions such as Traffic, Carpenters, Automotive, Environmental Management, Highways, and
the Roads Division, to name a few. As a result, space required for proper day to day operations of the
Transit Agency is inadequate due to limited parking for buses, bus operators, and transit personnel as well
as conducting necessary maintenance and repairs on our current bus fleet. Additionally, the existing facility
is currently in need of major repair and rehabilitation, and will not be able to support the future growth of the
Transit Agency.
The new maintenance baseyard facility will be solely for Transit Agency use. The five acre parcel will have
sufficient space to house a fleet of 58 transit buses, 5 mechanics, 45 bus operators, and administrative staff.
In addition, the new facility will provide an enhanced work environment designed specifically for transit
related activities and repairs as well as improve the overall efficiency, productivity, and safety of the Transit
Agency.
