     WHEREAS, the University of Hawaii at Manoa currently provides the Rainbow Shuttle service for University of Hawaii students, faculty, staff, and visitors; and

     WHEREAS, the shuttle service operates during the fall and spring semesters, Monday through Friday; and

 

     WHEREAS, the current routes include:

 

     (1)  Route H1 – Student Housing/Hawaiian Express;

 

     (2)  Route H2 – Student Housing Express;

 

     (3)  Route F1- Manoa/Faculty Express;

 

     (4)  Route M1 – Makiki/Moiliili Express;

 

     (5)  Route P1 – Parking Express; and

 

     (6)  Route W1 – Waialae Avenue Express; and

 

     WHEREAS, the Makiki community service was the latest route extension and was met with great enthusiasm as it increases access to the school and provides greater convenience for students living off campus; and

 

     WHEREAS, homes in the Kapahulu and Waikiki areas are regularly rented by university students and frequented by students for dining, shopping, and entertainment; and

 

     WHEREAS, the University of Hawaii at Manoa regularly welcomes visitors and tourists to tour the campus and who, in turn, spend money on dining and other gifts from the University of Hawaii Bookstore; and

 

     WHEREAS, a reasonable extension of the Rainbow Shuttle down Kapahulu Avenue and into the Waikiki area will service a greater number of students and tourists, thereby adding to the quality of student life and the potential to increase awareness of the school among international and mainland visitors, while simultaneously increasing the opportunity to generate revenue with on-campus purchases; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirtieth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2019, that this body urges the University of Hawaii at Manoa to add a Kapahulu-Waikiki extension of its Rainbow Shuttle to provide greater service and access to the school by students and visitors; and
