RE: H.R. No. 53
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 53 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE COUNTY OF MAUI, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, TO CONDUCT A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE THE COST AND OTHER FACTORS RELATING TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FIXED-RAIL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM CONNECTING THE KAHULUI-WAILUKU AREA, KIHEI, AND LAHAINA ON THE ISLAND OF MAUI,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is to request the County of Maui in conjunction with the Department of Transportation, to conduct a feasibility study to determine the cost and steps needed to construct a fixed-rail system of transportation connecting the Kahului-Wailuku area, Kihei, and Lahaina on the island of Maui.
The State Department of Transportation and Maui County Department of Transportation opposed this resolution.
Your Committee finds that these towns are favorite destinations of visitors to Maui and the roads connecting them are heavily traveled.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 53 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
