PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Transportation: 4.2 Mass Transit  Action 4.2.3.a (page 4-4) Prepare a County-wide Transit Master Plan to provide an overall framework for transit <br />improvements while incorporating user input from each district.  (4.2.1) Goals: a) Mass transportation options are increased for all Puna residents. b) Transit service and improvements <br />reinforce and complement the development of village/town centers. c) A greater percentage of commuters use mass transit. (4.2.2) Objectives: Convert the present Hele-On bus <br />routes and services to a “hub-and-spoke” system, with paratransit vehicles bringing passengers from outlying areas to Hele-On Bus hubs and also distributing passengers within the Hilo <br />area. Coordinate County transit services with special needs paratransit services and school transportation. Provide park-and-ride lots at key regional sites to promote commuter ridership. Strengthen <br />County capability and resources to operate the transit system and increase ridership. Ensure that pedestrians can access bus stops safely.
