DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PURSUANT TO HRS 46-7,FOR
THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE SUGAR ACCESS SOFTWARE LICENSE
TO THE COUNTY OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING,

Transmitted herewith,please find a draft resolution authorizing the Office of the Mayor to enter
into an agreement with the State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation(HDOT)pursuant to
HRS 46-7, for the acceptance of the Sugar Access Software(Software)license to the County Of
Hawai'i Department Of Planning,Public Works and Mass Transit.
The HDOT in cooperation with the County of Hawai'i (County), City and County of Honolulu,
Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization(MPO),Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization,
County of Kauai, and County of Maui are working to develop performance measures to assist in
the selection and prioritization of transportation projects that would utilize federal funds
available through the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration.
Performance measures are required by federal legislation.
Accessibility is one of the performance measures identified by HDOT and cooperating agencies;
the Software would help in quantifying the scoring of transportation projects for accessibility of
multi-modal systems. The Software by Citilabs Inc., is an ArcGIS extension which would aid in
the assessment of highway projects with transit,bicycle and pedestrian benefits as well as
evaluation of access to various land uses, including jobs and necessities, such as groceries,
schools,banks,health care and other services. HDOT is distributing two Software Licenses to
the County.
