Dear Chair Dela Cruz, Vice Chair Keith-Agaran, and Committee Members:
RE: HB 757, HD1, SD1 Relating to Transportation
Hawaiʻi County is in support of Vision Zero, and has already had a proclamation signing endorsing the
concept.
We note that HB757 has been substantially restructured as it has worked its way through the legislative
process. We look forward to participating in whatever framework is ultimately established to achieve the goal
of preventing, and even eliminating, traffic-related fatalities.
Thank you for this opportunity to testify.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harry Kim
MAYOR
