PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN Transportation: 4.2 Mass Transit   Action 4.2.3.e (page 4-4) Develop a cooperative program with the Department of Education and private schools to <br />provide student passes for the Hele-On Bus.  (4.2.1) Goals: a) Mass transportation options are increased for all Puna residents. b) Transit service and improvements reinforce <br />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 routes and <br />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 area. Coordinate <br />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.
