Policy Committee on Public Works and Mass Transit

The Policy Committee on Public Works and Mass Transit of the Hawaii County Council reviews legislation and policy for the Big Island's road network, bridges, county infrastructure, and public transportation system. It considers capital improvement budgets, road maintenance priorities, and contracts for infrastructure projects. The committee also oversees the Hele-On Bus system, which is the primary public transit service on the Big Island.

Big Island residents who drive, ride the bus, or simply want well-maintained roads and storm drains should track this committee's decisions. Infrastructure funding and transit service levels are set through its budget recommendations, and public testimony here shapes how limited county resources are allocated.
