Commission on Transportation

The Commission on Transportation advises the Hawaii Department of Transportation on transportation policy, planning, and infrastructure investment priorities for the state's highway, harbor, and airport systems. It reviews major transportation plans, capital improvement projects, and policy proposals affecting how people and goods move within and between Hawaii's islands. The commission provides a citizen advisory perspective on transportation decisions typically made by the DOT director.

Transportation infrastructure investments — which highways get repaired, which harbor facilities are expanded, and how airports are managed — affect every resident's commute, freight costs, and economic opportunity. Residents can engage through commission public meetings to advocate for transportation improvements in their communities.
