Hawaii Center for Advanced Transportation Technologies

The Hawaii Center for Advanced Transportation Technologies, operating under the Department of Transportation, promotes research, development, and deployment of innovative transportation technologies suited to Hawaii's unique island geography and clean energy goals. It coordinates with universities, federal agencies, and industry to advance electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, and multimodal mobility solutions. The center helps position Hawaii as a testbed for transportation innovation.

New transportation technologies — from electric buses to ride-sharing platforms — are shaped in part by the policies and programs this center develops. Commuters, transit advocates, and the general public benefit from investments in cleaner, more efficient transportation options.
