What's Being Discussed
- Executive Director's Report: OahuMPO's Executive Director will give an update on current agency activities and recap recent meetings of the Citizen Advisory Committee and Policy Board.
- Traffic Signal Optimization and Demand Management Study – Final Presentation: Staff and consultants will present the results of a completed planning study. The study built a detailed, island-wide computer model that simulates traffic conditions across Oahu. This model works alongside OahuMPO's existing planning tools to help evaluate traffic flow, road design options, and congestion management — now and in the near future.
Decisions Expected
- The committee is expected to vote on recommending that the Policy Board formally approve the Traffic Signal Optimization and Demand Management Study.
- If approved, the recommendation would also direct staff to submit documentation of the completed work to the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and incorporate the study's findings into future transportation planning on Oahu.
Who Should Pay Attention
- Oahu commuters and drivers — the study's findings may shape future traffic signal timing and congestion management across the island.
- Transportation and planning professionals — the new modeling tool will influence regional transportation plans and road improvement programs.
- Community members interested in Oahu's transportation future — the public may testify on any agenda item, either in writing or verbally (limited to 2 minutes).
