What's Being Discussed

Executive Director's Report: Staff will share updates on current O'ahu transportation planning activities, federal funding status, and summaries from recent advisory committee meetings. This item is for information only — no vote required.
Traffic Signal Optimization and Demand Management Study: City and County of Honolulu transportation staff will present findings from a completed island-wide study on improving traffic signal timing and managing travel demand. The study produced a detailed computer simulation model that can help planners analyze traffic conditions at the street corridor level, both now and in the near future.
Acting Executive Director Appointment: A small group called a Permitted Interaction Group (PIG) was formed earlier this year to lead the search for a new Executive Director. The board will discuss and vote on that group's recommendations, including a proposal to temporarily assign Dallas Ige as Acting Executive Director.
