What's Being Discussed

The Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Policy Board is meeting on November 17, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. This board oversees transportation planning for Maui. The main topics include:

• Executive Director's report — updates on ongoing plans, projects, finances, and federal transportation policy changes.
• State DOT performance targets and asset management — the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation will present goals for maintaining bridges and pavement on major highways, along with their long-range plan for keeping those roads and bridges in good condition.
• Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) updates — staff will present two sets of changes to the list of funded transportation projects for fiscal years 2025–2028. One is a minor administrative update; the other is a larger amendment that requires public review.

Decisions Expected

• The Board may vote to adopt or modify the State's bridge and pavement performance targets, or defer a decision.
• The Board may approve administrative changes to the current Transportation Improvement Program (Revision #6).
• The Board may release a larger set of project amendments (Revision #7) for a 14-day public comment period, reject them, or defer.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Maui residents who use roads, bridges, or public transportation and care about how transportation funds are spent.
• Businesses and community groups affected by road construction or infrastructure projects on Maui.
• Anyone interested in commenting on transportation project funding decisions before they are finalized.

Public testimony is welcome in person, by video, or by phone. Written comments can be emailed to getinvolved@mauimpo.org.
