What's Being Discussed
The Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OahuMPO) Technical Advisory Committee is holding its monthly meeting on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 9:00 AM. The meeting is virtual via Microsoft Teams, with an optional in-person location at 707 Richards Street, Suite 200, Honolulu. Key topics include:

Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan Update: The City's Department of Transportation Services (DTS) will present the completed 2026 update to Honolulu's plan for keeping its transit system in good condition. This update adds the Skyline rail system to the existing coverage of TheBus and Handi-Van services. The federal government requires this plan to be updated every four years.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan Update: DTS staff will share highlights from the HNL Connect program's fiscal year 2026 progress, including efforts to encourage Oahu residents to use alternatives to driving alone, such as transit, carpooling, and other sustainable options. This is an informational presentation only.

Decisions Expected

The committee is asked to recommend that the Policy Board approve the Transit Asset Management Plan Update, submit it to the U.S. Department of Transportation, and incorporate its findings into future transportation planning.
The TDM Plan presentation requires no formal vote — it is for information only.
The committee will also vote to approve the minutes from the August 14, 2026 meeting.
