What's Being Discussed

The Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization's Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is meeting to review transportation planning updates for Oʻahu. Key topics include:

• Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Update: A proposed revision to the list of federally funded transportation projects on Oʻahu. This includes removing one existing project — a culvert repair on the H-3 freeway near Likelike Highway — and adding nine new projects, such as electric vehicle facilities at a state baseyard, road rehabilitation on Farrington Highway, a truck weigh station on Sand Island Access Road, a Vision Zero safety action plan, a complete streets design for Dillingham Boulevard, and several planning and community engagement programs.
• Bridge and Pavement Performance Targets: State transportation officials will present draft goals for measuring the condition of Oʻahu's bridges and roads, as required by federal law. The committee will give feedback, with final targets to be set at a future meeting.

Decisions Expected

• The committee is expected to vote on recommending approval of the TIP revision to the Policy Board, which would officially add and remove the projects listed above.
• No final vote is expected on the bridge and pavement targets — that item is for discussion and feedback only.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Drivers and commuters affected by road projects on H-3, Farrington Highway, Sand Island Access Road, and Dillingham Boulevard
• Cyclists and pedestrians interested in active transportation and complete streets initiatives
• Electric vehicle users interested in EV infrastructure development
• Anyone concerned about road safety, given the Vision Zero action plan discussion

The meeting is open to the public. Testimony can be submitted by email to oahumpo@oahumpo.org or given verbally at the meeting, limited to 2 minutes.
