TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Friday, January 17, 2020 Mayor’s Conference Room

9th Floor, 200 S High Street, Wailuku HI 96793 Members Present: Robin Shishido, HDOT Maui District, Vice Chair Pam Eaton, Planning Program Administrator, Dept. of Planning, Past Chair (joined the meeting at 9:06 am) Nolly Yagin, Engineering, Dept. of Public Works, Past Vice-Chair Kathleen Aoki, Administrative Planning Officer, Dept. of Planning Chico Rabara, Engineering, Dept. of Public Works John Smith, Highways Division Chief, Dept. of Public Works Ken Tatsuguchi, HDOT Planning Branch Program Manager Excused: Michael Du Pont, Deputy Director County of Maui Dept. of Transportation, Chair John Buck, Deputy Director County of Maui Dept. of Parks & Recreation Linda Munsell, Housing Administrator, Maui Dept. of Housing & Human Concerns Others: Lauren Armstrong, Executive Director, Maui MPO Karen Tamaki, Financial Specialist, Maui MPO Michael Hopper, County of Maui Deputy Corporation Counsel I. Call Meeting to Order (9:02 am) Vice-Chair Shishido called the meeting to order at 9:02 am and noted that Member Eaton is on her way to join the meeting. Vice-Chair Shishido noted that Michael Du Pont is excused today and that is why he will be chairing the meeting. II. Public Testimony (9:03 am) Vice-Chair Shishido opened the meeting to public testimony and invited Mr. Ed Clarke to testify.

--- Public Testimony Opened ---

Mr.Clarke introduced himself as a Ma‘alaea resident since 2000. He testified to open Hau‘oli Street traffic one-way for emergencies and as part of the bike trail. He understands that there will be a bike trail around the two ponds from the Veterans Memorial Highway, across North Kīhei Road to Ma‘alaea. There is a terrible problem when there is a fire or an accident on the Pali as the traffic to Lahaina backs up. The people in Ma‘alaea have a terrible time getting home and he has personally received a ticket from the Maui Police Department for driving down the center strip. If the bike trail could be opened up one-way in times of emergency it would make a lot of sense to the people that live in Ma‘alaea that want to get home. He supports the bike trail and would like to see one-way traffic. He has also looked at the congestion all across the Pali, and the traffic commission should


consider a light rail system that goes through a tunnel across the Pali as part of the long range plan and way in the future. There is a need for emergency access and the bike trail seems like a good way to go.

Vice-Chair Shishido asked if there were any questions or comments. There being none, Vice-Chair Shishido thanked Mr. Clarke and closed public testimony.

--- Public Testimony Closed ---

III. Approval of November 21, 2019 Meeting Minutes (9:05 am)

Vice-Chair Shishido moved to the next item of business and requested a motion to approve the November 21, 2019 minutes and referred members to their meeting materials. Member Aoki motioned, seconded by Member Yagin, to approve and accept the minutes from the November 21, 2019 meeting. There being no discussion or comments on the motion, Members voted and the motion was passed unanimously. III. Unfinished Business (9:06 am)

Member Eaton joined the meeting at 9:06 am a. Kihei Sub-Area Transportation Study Vice-Chair Shishido moved to the next item of business and asked Ms. Armstrong to introduce the item. Ms. Armstrong reported that the Kīhei Sub-Area Transportation Study has been on-going for the past 18 months. The technical advisory committed just reviewed a draft of the plan and it will be reviewed by the public in March. Ms. Armstrong invited Nolly Yagin, the project manager, to make further comments. Member Yagin noted that the project has been going on for over 18 months and the final technical advisory committee meeting was held yesterday. The draft is being reviewed by that committee and the citizen advisory committee. The next step is to incorporate those comments in a final version with a goal to go public with the plan in March and one final public meeting sometime in the first two weeks of March. After the plan is finalized, there will be some sort of adoption plan. Ms. Armstrong added that the plan is consistent with Hele Mai Maui as it follows an evaluation process and the top projects from the Kīhei study were evaluated in the Hele Mai Maui plan. The overlap in the MPO TAC members and the Kīhei committee has helped to keep the plans in agreement. Member Yagin furthered that this plan is an update of the 1996 Kīhei Traffic Master Plan with a big difference in that the 1996 plan only looked at roadways and vehicles. The new plan identifies roadway needs along with pedestrian, bike and other users. This is a first plan of this type and it is expected to be of good use with a both small and large projects to choose from for implementation. b. 2019-2022 Maui Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Revision #6 Vice-Chair Shishido moved to the next item to review the documentation to be provided to the Policy Board to support Revision #6. Ms. Armstrong referred the members to their meeting materials and a draft memo from the TAC to the Policy Board. Ms. Armstrong sought input based on a request from the Policy Board seeking more information and concern about deferring projects in Central Maui to make room for South Kīhei Road and Makawao Avenue. She added that at the Policy Board meeting, she did confirm that based on data, South Kihei


Road and Makawao Avenue were in more need and higher priority over the Central Maui projects. Ms. Armstrong added that she thinks it would be a good idea to show the Board some of the data that the engineers are relying on when making decisions on which projects are recommended for federal funds. One piece of data received from Public Works is the excerpt of the pavement management system showing remaining service life (RSL) and pavement condition index (PCI) for the selection of federal aid roads that shows the priority. Ms. Armstrong reminded members of the presentation provided by Member Smith on the County’s asset management system which gave the TAC good background on how decisions are made to recommend projects to the MPO. The Policy Board could benefit from the same information and DPW will present the same information at the January 31 Policy Board meeting. Ms. Armstrong would like to provide the Board with the memo and data backup. Member Eaton mentioned that she has had phone calls asking why certain projects were dropped and she recommended that someone from the Mayor’s office be at the presentation as that is the source of the enquiries. Both the Budget Office and Mayor’s Office need more information so that they know that the decisions are not arbitrary but based on data. Member Eaton suggested contacting the County’s Budget Director directly and encouraging someone from the Mayor’s staff to attend the Policy Board meetings. Ms. Armstrong agreed as there seems to be some confusion over the authority of the MPO versus the County and State. Member Eaton also referred Ms. Armstrong to Policy Board Member Michele McLean for advice on who to invite from the Mayor’s office and Budget Office. Ms. Armstrong continued and referred members to the minutes from the Over the Shoulder Review which is convened by the State DOT twice a year to review TIP projects for the current and next federal fiscal year. Engineers provide project status updates and those are summarized in the minutes. Ms. Armstrong suggests giving the Board these minutes so the Board can see how each project is progressing and whether a project is on schedule or there are potential issues. Member Eaton offered that the OSR minutes were very helpful. Ms. Armstrong followed up directly with the agencies for projects on the TIP for years 2022 and beyond. Those notes were included in the supplemental materials and mirrors the format of Over the Shoulder Review notes for the projects in the later years. Ms. Armstrong asked TAC members for their thoughts on whether the materials would be helpful or if there is additional materials that could be added. Member Aoki had a question about the Policy Board question and asked if this additional information provided the level of detail that the Policy Board was seeking as to why changes were being made. It seems like the Policy Board wanted specific information rather than status updates on projects. Ms. Armstrong referred to the memo which set out the rationale for specific changes in Revision #6. Member Aoki noted that she asked specifically at the November TAC meeting and there was an answer and that answer could be given to the Policy Board. Ms. Armstrong noted that the TAC minutes do cover the conversation and Ty Takeno’s response to the questions. Ms. Armstrong suggested that the TAC could recommend that the TAC minutes go to the Board. Member Aoki noted that it would be useful to point to the minutes to show that TAC did ask questions and received answers. Member Eaton added that she does not think the Policy Board members know what TAC does unless they read the minutes and that likely does not happen. Member Tatsuguchi asked if the minutes had to be approved before they went to the Policy Board which could cause a timing issue. Ms. Armstrong noted that it was the November TAC meeting where this was discussed


and those minutes were approved today so they could go to the Policy Board at its next meeting. Mr. Hopper noted that minutes can be released as unofficial with a statement that the minutes reflect what happened at the meeting. The Policy Board may note that the minutes have not been approved but it is rare that there are any changes to the minutes in any case. There is nothing in the law that prevents minutes being available as draft. Under Sunshine Law, a public version of the minutes, even in draft form, have to be released within 30 days of the meeting. If the best way to get the information to the Policy Board is with the minutes, those don’t have to be approved. Member Smith motioned to release to the Policy Board the memorandum, TAC minutes, Over the Shoulder Review minutes and asset management system data. Member Eaton seconded the motion. There being no further discussion, Vice-Chair Shishido called for a vote and the motion passed unanimously.

V. New Business (9:21am) a. Maui TIP Policies

Vice-Chair Shishido asked Ms. Armstrong to move to the next item being the Maui TIP Policies. Ms. Armstrong referred members to her memorandum to TAC regarding a preliminary draft of the TIP Policies for TAC to consider.

In terms of context, the next TIP for years 2022-2025 will be adopted next summer. Prior to that process, Ms. Armstrong wants to update the TIP Policies given what has been learned from the last TIP update and how the MPO wants to shape the TIP since the MPO now has its Hele Mai Maui Plan. Ms. Armstrong provided in the memo a set of questions for TAC by section of the draft policy. Ms. Armstrong proposed going through each question with the TAC for input.

The first question is to consider who is the audience for the TIP Policies? Ms. Armstrong indicated that if it is for a technical audience, State DOT and Public Works, to set key dates or is it a citizen’s guide. Ms. Armstrong received advice from the MPO’s federal advisor that the document could be both with the core document being technical and a one pager setting out what the TIP is and how the public can be involved.

Member Eaton offered that whenever something technical can be put in lay people terms it offers better transparency and better involvement in the long run. She supports doing both. Ms. Armstrong offered that some other MPOs approach the TIP Policies very technical using jargon while others are written in plain English. It takes more work to translate to plain English. Member Smith and Member Aoki thought that a fact sheet using simple language would be better.

Ms. Armstrong moved on to ask if the policy should refer to Hele Mai Maui or be generic and refer to LRTP. Member Eaton would like to see reference to Hele Mai Maui because it dates the policy right away. Member Yagin noted that it would also help to brand the long range plan. Member Tatsuguchi offered that the regulations carry the authority of what must be done and the TIP must be consistent with the long range plan. He asked if the regulations should be stated to clarify. Member Eaton offered that there could be a footnote to Hele Mai Mai that it is the long range plan. Member Tatsuguchi thought that there might be a question as to why only that plan is being considered and it is because of the regulations. Member Eaton noted that Hele Mai Maui was done with reference to existing plans including the General Plan and perhaps a note at the beginning stating what Hele Mai Maui is may clarify that. Member Tatsuguchi is not sure which way to go because it may be inherent that everyone knows the regulations.


Ms. Armstrong noted that the draft policy does reference consistency with the long range transportation plan including that small projects need to be consistent with the goals of the plan as not all projects can be listed for a 20 year plan.

Member Aoki asked if other MPOs name their long range transportation plans. Ms. Armstrong noted that the draft TIP policies have been modeled after Nashville’s MPO which used a generic long range transportation title.

Vice-Chair Shishido invited comments from Ms. Tamaki. Ms. Tamaki suggested that the policy be kept plain language and then add footnotes referencing Hele Mai Maui such as “Hele Mai Maui is the long range transportation plan adopted pursuant to CFR (insert reference)”. The document would be user friendly for the public, engineers and lawyers while addressing Member Tatsuguchi’s point of referencing the regulations.

Member Tatsuguchi commented that he always cites the regulations. Ms. Armstrong noted that this will not be the last draft that TAC sees and she will incorporate changes in the next draft. Mr. Hopper commented that Ms. Armstrong may want to check to see if the TIP policy met regulation. Ms. Armstrong clarified that the TIP Policies were not a regulated mandated document of the MPO; it is helpful to have so the TIP is federally compliant. Ms. Armstrong will check with the MPOs federal advisor on this point.

Ms. Armstrong moved to the third section and referenced the current TIP where the State proposed projects totaled an amount of funding that was already fiscally constrained. As a result, going out to the public to get input on priority felt somewhat hollow. This goes to the initial framing of what the TIP is – a tool to implement the long range transportation plan and these are the projects referred by the engineers and MPOs. The public engagement would be more informational rather than seeking input. If the TIP is more a competitive process for both the State and County using the MPO for that competitive process then more projects would be needed. Ms. Armstrong noted that since Maui is a small MPO, it is more difficult to make it a competitive process compared to MPOs that have multiple competing cities and jurisdictions. Here it is more the State and County and the MPO is really working to improve the transparency of how the projects come forward. Project input really comes at the later stage when projects are to be delivered through the environmental and design process.

Member Aoki noted that if the TIP is bucket list, it is too many and too watered down. Member Eaton commented that there is a question of how much leeway does the public have in the TIP process. There is only so much role for the public and MPO given the federal regulations. The issue is whether that can be explained so that the outreach is not hollow. Member Eaton asked Member Tatsuguchi what the role of the public really is in the STIP and TIP.

Member Tatsuguchi noted that the feds require a data driven process in the long range plan and programs. That is why the implementing agencies use a data driven methodology for a list of projects. In the long range plan, there was input from the stakeholders and public using goals and objectives process. The selection process for the TIP delivery is data driven which is taken to the stakeholders in number for the public to select from a list. The feds want to see funds leveraged to those projects that are selected using data and the TIP may not be approved if the selection of projects does not use data. The project list has already been filtered in the long range plan so a long list of projects should not be necessary.

Member Eaton followed up asking if Ms. Armstrong thought the public knew and understood that the process was data driven? Member Eaton offered that for the next TIP, one objective for public outreach is to educate the public to get them to understand that the process is data driven with a cost-benefit and provide the public with


some of the data so that they understand what that data is. Member Tatsuguchi added that the iWorQ’s data is good as it shows pavement condition. Member Eaton agreed as it clarifies that potholes are not fixed by calls to the Mayor but on a scheduled, data driven selection.

Member Tatsuguchi noted that there is some discretion in the process but there is more stability in the selection when the data is used.

Ms. Armstrong thanked members for the comments and added that the process is more transparent than before the MPO but that she is looking for the next TIP update to further improve transparency by translating the information so that it is more digestible for the public – use performance measures from the long range plan, use graphics, use stories. Ms. Tamaki offered that at AMPO 2019, she spoke to other MPOs about public outreach for the TIP. Other MPOs used the outreach as educational-informational only as opposed to project selection. The reason being is that, by federal regulation, when the MPO is less than 200,000, the MPO does not select projects for implementation as that is left to the implementing agencies. As Maui is a small MPO, the MPO does not get to tell the agencies what to do compared to a large MPO that gets to tell agencies what projects to implement.

Vice-Chair Shishido supported what Member Tatsuguchi was saying to let the public know that the process is data driven and now that the State has its Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP), that process must be met to enable the State to get its federal funds.

Member Tatsuguchi added that the TAC and Policy Board are to ensure that the process is done correctly with the data, input and following regulation – the TAC and Policy Board do not select projects. For TIP revisions, there may be priority project concerns but there are also project delivery issues – schedule and budget changes. Those are important for the Policy Board to understand. If a scope changes due to unknown factors, it is important to let the Policy Board know that.

Ms. Armstrong moved on to ask Member Rabara how Public Works prioritizes its projects. Member Rabara noted that Public Works has a prioritized listing with pavement projects based on iWorQ. Projects are ranked by program based on the department’s priorities in Public Work’s budget program. The process is annual with the County budget process. The CIP list is prioritized and ranked in the budget season. At times, if there is an emergency, a project may go to the top.

Member Rabara confirmed to Ms. Armstrong that big dollar projects – pavement reconstruction, bridge repairs – are usually priority for federal funding. Ms. Armstrong also asked how DPW sections decide between priorities overall. Member Yagin offered that there are discussions between the sections. For Traffic Division, it works with other divisions to mesh the projects to work together. Member Smith added that for Highways and Engineering, studies drive the project choice and there are internal discussions between sections. It is an on-going process with regular meeting to try to get the department on the same page.

Ms. Armstrong offered an example – the Kīhei North South Collector is on the TIP. If it was to be completed, it would take up two years of federal funds for the County. Member Smith said the discussion would then be could Highways keep the rest of Kīhei going for another two years and can that level of outcry from the public be accepted. Ms. Armstrong noted that it could also be an issue for the federal priority on system preservation.

Member Smith added that the MPO process has assisted Public Works in setting priorities. It has facilitated better coordination.


Ms. Armstrong concluded this issue by deferring any discussion on transit until someone from Maui’s DOT was at the meeting.

Member Eaton added a point that she has no idea how DPW prioritizes projects and asked if it would help if TAC members had a better understanding. Member Smith noted that, as Member Tatsuguchi mentioned earlier, there are many unknown issues that affect the scope of a project. Once there is a scope change, it may or may not be absorbed into the budget. Projects are at the mercy of annual budget, permitting, SHPD issues. The design and planning are the easy part and it is the things that were not planned for that make projects difficult. If a project is delayed, there is typically a very good reason why the project was delayed.

Ms. Armstrong noted that the draft TIP Policies has a paragraph on eligibility and asked TAC members if that section was redundant. Member Tatsuguchi added that regulations also require that project funds have to be reasonably available for the project to be on the TIP. If design funds are on the TIP, there must be construction funds available.

Member Eaton asked what happens then when there is an unforeseen delay? Is the construction money tied to a project forever? Member Smith said that is the main problem that the department has because of the budgeting. Member Tatsuguchi added that if a project slips, and there are construction funds, then another project has to be slid in. It is a challenge.

Ms. Armstrong noted that the TIP can assist and Member Smith added that is why the MPO and open table discussion is helpful. If there is a list and a project is not able to go, then the next one in line is already there.

Member Aoki asked for clarification on the Eligibility section. Ms. Armstrong noted that section two of the draft mentions that a project has to be consistent with the long range plan to be eligible for the TIP. The long range plan covers federal aid projects and is it redundant to have a section Eligibility. Member Aoki offered that it was helpful to have a separate section.

Ms. Armstrong continued to ask about the extent of public outreach for the TIP – would one round of outreach be sufficient? The last TIP had one round for unconstrained with a long list of projects with people doing a survey of which projects they liked the best. It did generate interest but afterward the input may not have been well translated into the TIP outcome itself. Ms. Armstrong suggested doing one round of outreach to explain the asset management system and the ones that don’t make the list. Member Smith agreed with that approach and Ms. Armstrong also suggested a strong online outreach to mirror the events would be done. All parts of the island would be addressed in Town Fridays, for example, rather than organizing MPO events with an effort to be more effective than the last time. Ms. Armstrong noted that the STIP process has Pat Tom from HDOT going out once with unconstrained and a survey and then a second time with constrained.

Member Tatsuguchi referred to the regulations which require public involvement that has to be sufficient. If the way is changed, is it sufficient? He thinks it is and may be worth trying. Ms. Armstrong offered one round of public engagement and then meeting with stakeholder groups.

Member Eaton noted that the Alliance of Community Associations and all the individual associations in that seem to be more effective for outreach. When these meetings are done, the information goes on to their website and their members become informed.

Ms. Armstrong looked for comments on fiscal constraint and amount of federal highway funding to Maui. The amount is set by State DOT based on vehicle miles travelled and lane miles of roads. Should that be a formal


target set by the MPO or should the agencies set the target? Should the Policy Board get involved in the process? Member Tatsuguchi recommended that the methodology should be agreed to and not the amount.

Ms. Armstrong asked TAC members if the MPO should intentionally use the planning years of the TIP to pursue additional funding – should these be priority projects? Member Eaton thought that would make the illustrative years more meaningful and steer people to projects that met funding criteria. Member Smith asked who would pursue additional funds? Ms. Armstrong noted that the planning years are a holding space for priority projects whether or not they are funded. Ms. Tamaki added that the TIP may need to show design for projects in the illustrative years when the projects are really 2-3 years out. Otherwise, there are projects in the illustrative years that cannot be programmed in the first two years of the following TIP because no design work has been done. The methodology to consider is when design funds would be spent to indicate whether a project would stay in the list for the illustrative years. This is particularly relevant for the large projects that are targeted for use of the rental car surcharge.

Member Tatsuguchi added that the intent of the illustrative years is to reflect the priorities and expectations that the project will go into the TIP. The illustrative years are already used to pursue additional funding.

Ms. Armstrong will check with agencies directly on tools to track projects but wanted to know if it was a good idea to keep projects in the pipeline when advanced construction is used on the TIP. Her concern is whether this would be over-promising projects to the public. Member Tatsuguchi noted that with advanced construction, funds are taken from the future and that year, there will be less money. It is a tool to get big projects out. Ms. Armstrong noted that there are two projects on the list using advanced construction which keeps the projects on the list but constrains money in later years. The money would be fronted by the County and if federal funds are not available, there is a risk of no reimbursement. Member Yagin thought using advanced construction was an effective way to deliver projects and gave the Kīhei North-South Collector Road as an example. He would have preferred to fund the project in one year but splitting it using advanced construction helps address priorities in other areas. It is useful but a little risky.

Member Tatsuguchi added that using advanced construction allows agencies to deliver to the public faster. Ms. Armstrong asked if it should be used sparingly. Member Tatsuguchi indicated that at HDOT, it uses advanced construction readily. He is not aware of funding not being available to deal with advanced construction. However, the STIP managers do not like using advanced construction because of the bookkeeping requirements. The obligations staff don’t like it either. Also, because it restricts funds in future years, it is not a good idea to use advanced construction too often.

Ms. Armstrong worked through the next steps which include input from the federal advisor and working with HDOT on coordinating with the STIP process. The policies will be brought back, in draft, to TAC in May. If there are additional comments on the draft, TAC members were asked to email Ms. Armstrong.

Member Aoki asked for information on updating the Policy Board on projects. Ms. Armstrong noted that some MPOs track projects and give monthly updates to Policy Boards. That is not feasible for Maui and timing updates as work has started or funds are obligated. Members discussed time of updates and it was agreed that timing updates to the OSR schedule made the most sense.

Mr. Hopper recommended that all comments that have come forward can be incorporating into the draft with unanimous consent of TAC members. It was so moved by Member Eaton and seconded by Member Smith. There being no further discussion, the members voted and the motion passed unanimously.


With respect to the consideration of planning studies, Member Eaton asked that the TOD Study be added to the agenda for discussion.

With no objections, Vice-Chair Shishido deferred the remaining items on the agenda to the next meeting.

Maui Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) 2019-2022 1

I. Overview As a federally-mandated metropolitan planning organization, Maui MPO coordinates with the State of Hawai‘i and County of Maui to develop a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the island of Maui. The TIP is a short-term project implementation plan for all surface transportation projects that are regionally significant or will use Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds. FHWA funds are typically programmed for highway, bicycle, and pedestrian projects, while FTA funds are typically programmed for acquisition, operation and maintenance of the public transit system.

The State of Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) manages the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP process). Federal-aid projects on Moloka‘i and Lana‘i are programmed by HDOT and County of Maui.

Project selection for the TIP was based on asset management priorities from County of Maui Department of Public Works (DPW) and HDOT, performance measures, and public input. The Maui MPO Policy Board is the governing body that establishes a performance-based process to evaluate projects for their consistency with the goals and objectives of the Federal-Aid Transportation Plan 2035 for the District of Maui, adopted by the Policy Board as the Maui Long Range Transportation Plan in July 2017. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) provides technical analysis and recommendations to the PB. Stakeholders, agencies, and members of the public have opportunities to provide input throughout the TIP update process.

The list of TIP projects is financially constrained based on reasonably anticipated FHWA and FTA funds and local matching funds, and includes additional illustrative projects in the planning years. The TIP may be revised between updates, and must be updated at least every four years. The TIP must be approved by the Maui MPO Policy Board and the Governor or Governor’s designee before it is included in its entirety in the STIP. Maui MPO provides the TIP to the FHWA and FTA for informational purposes. The Governor or Governor’s designee transmits the STIP to the FHWA and FTA for joint approval.

For more information, see Maui MPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Policies and Procedures, adopted by the Maui MPO Policy Board on November 22, 2017.

condition of bridges, pavement, and transit systems. Technical priority for highways and bridges is documented in the Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP). County of Maui Department of Transportation (MDOT) follows a Transit Asset Management Plan for buses and bus facilities. Preventive maintenance reduces the cost of maintaining infrastructure by extending the time period between major rehabilitation or replacement.

Safety projects are identified through the State Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and based on accident data. Congestion projects originate in traffic engineering programs that consider intersection modifications to improve safety and traffic flow. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements are proposed based on recommendations from the Hawai’i Bike Plan, Central Maui Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, and community input. Roadway capacity projects are proposed based on the Maui Long Range Transportation Plan, which considers land use, population growth and roadway congestion.

b. Public Participation Maui MPO hosted a set of five public workshops in February 2018 at ADA-accessible community centers in Pāʻia, Lāhainā, Pukalani, Kīhei and Kahului to gather public input on the priority of transportation projects proposed for federal funding in the 2019-2022 TIP. Meeting at various locations within Maui Bus operating hours helped ensure fair access to the decision-making process for all potentially affected communities, consistent with the Environmental Justice program outlined in the Maui MPO Public Participation Plan. Staff from HDOT, DPW, Planning and MDOT, as well as County Council members attended as representatives of the Maui MPO TAC and Policy Board. The MPO held a set of follow up workshops in April 2018 to share the financially constrained draft.

Maui MPO issued public notices of the workshops and draft TIP documents through press releases to all major media outlets on Maui, emails to the MPO newsletter and interagency consultation lists, radio announcements and fliers. In February, the MPO received 170 responses to a survey that asked members of the public to rank proposed TIP projects as High, Medium or Low priority. People completing the survey online could refer to an interactive web map showing the location and details of each project. The map can be viewed at www.mauimpo.org.

The TAC and Policy Board considered public priority to develop the financially constrained TIP. In March 2018, the TAC considered several alternatives of the draft TIP list, and recommended a financially

Figure 1. Interactive Online TIP Map



constrained TIP to the Policy Board, who then approved the draft list for public review. Policy Board and TAC meeting minutes and materials are available on the Maui MPO website. Appendix C. Public Input Summary documents the public input gathered online and through workshops, and a disposition of public comments received.

c. Title VI and Environmental Justice Maui MPO utilized available Geographic Information System (GIS) data to analyze the potential impact of TIP projects on minority, low income and vulnerable populations. The majority of TIP projects involve preservation of existing transportation facilities. These projects will not substantially change the “footprint” of the facility or its scale. As with any capital project there are bound to be interruptions in service, detours, etc. These are considered temporary in nature and are mitigated on-site during project implementation and through communication with the public. The impact analysis on special populations or resources did not identify significant adverse or unequal impacts resulting from the distribution and location of any TIP projects. The maps for this analysis can be found in Appendix D. Title VI Maps .

V. Performance Analysis Projects selected for the TIP impact Maui’s progress toward goals and corresponding performance measures from the Maui Long Range Transportation Plan:

• Environment • Modal Integration • System Preservation • Security • Economic Vitality and Infill

Development • System Efficiency • Access Mobility • Safety

The overall contribution of Maui TIP projects to meeting performance goals are indicated by the proportion of federal funds spent in each program category, as shown in Figure 2.

Safety and system preservation are top priorities for federal funding, reflected in the fact that 53% of funds in the Maui TIP are programmed for preservation and 12% for safety. In 2018 the Maui MPO Policy Board approved the programming of projects in the Maui TIP to support the State safety and system preservation targets for pavement and bridges. Many system preservation projects also include multimodal safety elements, which contributes toward Maui’s attainment of safety goals.

Additionally, Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) projects qualified for federal funds through a competitive Statewide process. Congestion projects, which typically include intersection improvements, are programmed to receive 4% of funds. The Kīhei North-South Collector Road accounts for the 10% of federal funding programmed for capacity.

Ratings of each individual project’s anticipated contribution to meeting goals described by the Maui MPO Performance Criteria are shown in Appendix E. Project Information Sheets.

Figure 3. Sample Project Information Sheet with MPO Performance Criteria


VI. Financial Plan Projects programmed in the 2019-2022 TIP are constrained to the amount of federal funding that is reasonably expected to be made available. Appendix A. Funding Detail of 2019-2022 TIP Projects constitutes the financial plan for the TIP, meeting federal regulation 23 CFR 450.324(h) to demonstrate that the TIP is financially constrained and that resources from federal, state and local sources are reasonably expected to carry out the TIP.

a. Highways Program Available federal highway funds were estimated in cooperation with HDOT based on federal apportionment levels and a distribution formula. FHWA funds are appropriated annually by Congress. FAST is the enabling act that governs federal surface transportation funding. For the purpose of defining fiscal constraint for this document, it is assumed that federal surface transportation funding will continue beyond FFY 2018 at or near current levels.

Approximately $170 million in obligation authority is estimated to be available for the State of Hawai‘i each fiscal year. Each of the funding sources and detailed information on the revenues estimated to be available for the State of Hawaii is available in the 2019-2022 STIP. Based on Daily Vehicle Miles Travelled (DVMT), Maui’s annual estimated planning target is $25 million per year of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds for State and County federal-aid projects.

The Maui TIP is incorporated without change into the STIP. To demonstrate fiscal constraint in the STIP, HDOT compares the total amount of FHWA funds programmed statewide to the obligation limitation anticipated each year. Under FAST Act, HDOT may transfer apportionments from one program to another – the total amount of FHWA funds programmed is key. Although this provides more immediate flexibility, transferring from one fund type to another reduces the ability to follow through with the intent of the fund.

Types of FHWA funds programmed in the Maui TIP include:

• Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) • National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) • Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) • Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) • Safe Routes to School Program • National Recreational Trails Program

Figure 4. County-State Split of FHWA Funds 2019-2022 (x$1000)

County, $47,813

State, $39,392


b. Transit Program FTA administers the federal-aid funds apportioned to states for the construction, operation and maintenance of public transportation systems. The HDOT Statewide Transportation Planning (STP) office manages FTA grant programs, which provide funding for the Maui Bus, managed by MDOT. Types of FTA funds programmed in the Maui TIP include:

• Bus and Bus Facility (Rural) – FTA 5339 • Bus and Bus Facility (Small Urban) – FTA 5339 • Rural Transportation Program – FTA 5311 • Urbanized Area Program – FTA 5307 • Transportation Assistance for the Elderly and Disabled – FTA 5310

c. Additional funding Projects of regional significance with funding sources reasonably anticipated to be available may be included in the Maui TIP. Potential additional funding sources identified through the Hele Mai Maui 2040 Transportation Plan include:

• Rental vehicle surcharge • General Excise Tax surcharge • Toll Roads • Paid parking • Grants

Maui TIP 2019-2022 Public Input Summary p. 1

Maui MPO hosted a set of five public workshops in February 2018 to gather public input on the priority of federal-aid transportation projects proposed for federal funding in the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Staff from the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT), County of Maui Departments of Public Works (DPW), Planning (Planning) and Transportation (MDOT) and County Council members attended as representatives of the Maui MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Policy Board. Each workshop was held from 6:00-8:00pm at various ADA-accessible community centers around the island.

A total of 156 people signed attendance sheets at the public workshops. Figure 1 shows attendance by community area. Attendees heard presentations from the Maui MPO Executive Director and HDOT staff, asked questions and shared input about County and State transportation projects.

Figure 3. Number of Surveys from Workshops vs. Online

Maui MPO conducted a public survey for highway and transit projects proposed for federal funding on Maui in the 2019-2022 TIP. All projects included in the survey were eligible for federal funding, consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan adopted by the Maui MPO Policy Board in July 2017, and derived from County and State asset management systems.

The purpose of the survey was to assist the Maui MPO TAC and Policy Board to narrow down the draft project list to within the amount of anticipated federal-aid. Respondents were asked to rank the projects island wide, choosing no more than 10 projects in each category.

High = Project should start in next 4 years; Medium = Project should start in years 5 or 6; Low = Project should start after year 6.

Workshop participants completed 41 surveys in person, and another 129 people completed online surveys. Results are reported as a combination of paper and online surveys. Projects ranked “high” priority received three points, “medium” received two points, “low” received one point and no response received zero points.

Project priorities for each area as ranked by residents of that area are provided on the following pages.

Many respondents island wide commented that they would like to see more bus service, bike paths, sidewalks and roundabouts.

Workshop participants commented on additional projects not included on the draft TIP project list. These comments are documented in the following pages, and will be incorporated into the transportation planning process led by Maui MPO.

Community members were encouraged to attend future transportation meetings, and to sign up for the Maui MPO email newsletter at: www.mauimpo.org

Survey Results

Public support for a Pāʻia Relief Route to alleviate safety issues and traffic congestion in Pāʻia was the #1 priority for federal funding on Maui as identified in the TIP survey. It is important to note that Pāʻia, Kū‘au and Haʻikū residents made up nearly half of survey respondents. Residents from other parts of the island also acknowledged Pāʻia Relief Route as a high priority for funding. Kaupakalua Road Pavement Reconstruction Phase 2 also received strong support among Pāʻia-Haʻikū residents, and was ranked #8 out of 31 projects islandwide.

Public Comments Summary

Multimodal The North Shore community holds a vision of having safe bicycle and pedestrian access to and around its neighborhoods, parks and businesses. Many residents requested more bicycle and pedestrian routes in the Pāʻia – Kū‘au area, including a bike path from UH Maui through Spreckelsville to Ho‘okipa. Rather than just serving cars, one resident suggested that the Pāʻia Relief Route should preserve as much greenway as possible around the bypass to allow for a bike path and safe walkway to promote a healthy alternative to driving. There was a request for a sidewalk from Pāʻia to Ho‘okipa, and recommendation to consider alternatives to expensive sidewalks.

Congestion Traffic congestion in Pāʻia town at the intersection of Baldwin Avenue and Hāna Highway was noted as a major safety and quality of life concern. Some ideas emerged for cost-effective and feasible solutions to address congestion in the near term. One resident suggested restricting left turns into Minit Stop to improve traffic flow on Hāna Highway through Pāʻia. Others suggested providing larger parking areas in Pāʻia and removing parking stalls on Hāna Highway to reduce unnecessary traffic.

System Preservation Residents identified needs for road and parking lot repairs at Ho'okipa, repaving of Haʻikū, Kokomo, Kaupakalua, Kauhikoa and Awalau Roads. There was a suggestion to improve Holomua Road to standards, create a new scenic parking lot on the inland side of Hāna Highway at the corner of Holomua Road, and to create an underpass tunnel to Ho'okipa.

Capacity/ Safety

Community members expressed a great deal of concern over traffic backed up on Hāna Highway in both directions, because of the Pāʻia traffic during after work congestion. One resident commented, “It is a stressful situation, not only sitting in traffic in each direction for extremely long periods of time, but also because of safety issues. Tourists and locals are crowded onto sidewalks, jay walking, and walking across intersections regardless of the walk okay indicators on the signs. Turning right from Baldwin Avenue onto Hāna Highway is scary because people dash out, and frustrated drivers go too fast. I feel it’s only a matter of time before there is a serious injury there.”

Many agreed that the traffic and pedestrian mix in Pāʻia is dangerous, and that ongoing development in Haʻikū and East Maui would make the problem worse. Workshop participants indicated that a bypass is absolutely needed, and should be the top priority for funding. Some residents have been waiting since the 1960’s for a bypass to be built.

Discussion of Pāʻia Relief Route There are differing opinions in the community about potential alignments of the Pāʻia Relief Route, and many people requested more information about the project. Some community members support moving forward with any feasible option for a Pāʻia Relief Route to alleviate traffic. Others are very concerned by a new alternative route being considered from the vicinity of Baldwin Beach Park to Kū‘au or Ho‘okipa, due to potential impacts to quality of life from noise and traffic congestion.

Many requested that ideally, the bypass would extend from the vicinity of Kala Road or Haleakala Highway to at least Holomua Road or Ho‘okipa. Some people requested maps of the proposed project alternatives, and wanted a better definition of the project before being asked to vote on in the survey. Residents urged agency representatives to get the Pāʻia bypass done soon, and to listen hard to the community.

HDOT staff provided some information on the project background and status. Previous studies considered alternatives for a route from the vicinity of Kala Road to past Ho‘okipa Beach Park. HDOT reported that those route alternatives were discovered to traverse historic properties, triggering federal regulation Section 4(f). The Section 4(f) regulation stems from the USDOT Act of 1966 that protects historic sites in transportation projects. Section 4(f) requires efforts to avoid historical properties if a prudent and feasible alternative exists. For this reason, HDOT is considering a new additional alternative route that avoids historic sites.


During the environmental review phase for the additional alternative, HDOT will go out for consultation with the community and landowners. The project team will explain why the previously studied alternatives were not selected and get public input on how they might mitigate any traffic issues that arise from the project’s phasing. Other challenges were mentioned with regards toprevious route alternatives starting near Kala Road: the landowner intends to retain the cane haul roads to support agriculture; and the estimated cost of $90+ million for a longer route exceeds the available budget for highway projects on Maui.

Maui MPO does not determine the final scope or alignment of road projects. Rather, the MPO programs federal funds that the State and County use to implement projects. Community members will have additional opportunities to comment on the proposed Pāʻia Relief Route through the project’s environmental review process.

Funding State Representative Lynn DeCoite shared information about HB2601, which proposed adding a supplemental fee on rental motor vehicles to fund the Pāʻia bypass and Lāhainā bypass through the State Highway Fund. She encouraged meeting attendees to testify in support of the bill to the State legislature. SB2888 was also mentioned, which sought to appropriate $49 million in general obligation funds for Pāʻia bypass.

Survey Results

Realignment of Honoapi‘ilani Highway between Olowalu and the Pali was the #1 West Maui priority identified by West Maui survey takers, and #3 island-wide. Other top projects included Rockfall Protection and improvements to Lower Honoapiʻilani Road.

Public Comments Summary Multimodal West Maui residents advocated for continued safe access for bicycles to all areas of the island, and greenway access by bicycles to reduce congestion on highways. To help accomplish this, it was suggested that all re-pavement and improvement projects should require Complete Streets planning and design, and that there should be more focus on recreational use when making improvements. For example, create more multiuse paths and widen highway shoulders.

Residents continued to voice strong support for the West Maui Greenway - a multiuse trail incorporated in all improvements from Pali to Lipoa Point.

There was a suggestion to develop direct bus routes from the airport to incorporate buses with bike share to lower car traffic, develop park and ride lots for Lāhainā to Kahului, and to make a section of Front Street pedestrian only.

Safety/ Resilience A number of people stated that moving Honoapi‘ilani Highway inland is the most critical of all the projects being considered. With sea level rise and the growing population in Lāhainā and Ka‘anapali, a public safety issue was raised. Some see the opportunity to fulfill the vision of the Pali to Puamana Parkway by moving the highway away from ocean and creating roadside beach parks with a beach front road for access. Others prefer the shoreline road that is too close be removed and make the area a natural beach park area leaving the shoreline natural. The road would no longer need to be a thoroughfare, but can have connector roads for beach access.

Residents were firm that the shoreline should not be hardened between mile marker 13 and 14. One person commented, “If the Honoapi‘ilani Highway realignment will make a bypass above the road, why does the shoreline protection/mitigation program need to take place?...I say focus on the two lane alternative route and not clutter the ocean front where erosion will continue to negate any transportation infrastructure.”

Congestion With serious traffic congestion in West Maui, there was a request to focus on keeping traffic flowing from Maʻalaea to Honokohau. In addition to realigning Honoapiʻilani Highway, addressing the Pali, and completing Lāhainā bypass, residents suggested other solutions to alleviate congestion: roundabouts, traffic signal improvements, bigger signs for Lāhainā bypass, and consistent speed limits. Capacity Many workshop attendees and survey respondents stated that completion of Lāhainā Bypass from Keawe Street to at least Ka'anapali is a very high priority. A State DOT representative stated that there is not enough funding available to complete Lāhainā bypass to Kaʻanapali (Phase 1C) at this time, but the project can be added to the TIP project list if additional funding becomes available. A few people requested Honoapiʻilani Highway remain open to vehicles for its full length, even when Phase 1B-2 of the bypass is completed in April 2018.

Some residents indicated they have been waiting for a four-lane highway from Maʻalaea to Kaʻanapali for 50 years. Others suggested completing the highway around Kahakuloa, and improving the Pali by cutting out above the tunnel.

Funding State Representative Angus McKelvey shared information about HB2601, which proposed adding a supplemental fee on rental motor vehicles to fund the Pāʻia bypass and Lāhainā bypass through the State Highway Fund. He encouraged meeting attendees to testify in support of the bill to the State legislature. There was a request to consider a toll road to generate additional revenue for transportation projects.

Survey Results

Makawao-Makani Road Improvements were the #1 priority project for Upcountry, followed by Kula Highway Safety Improvements.


Multimodal Upcountry residents requested more sidewalks and bike lanes. Other ideas were to have bicycle trails in cane fields as part of an Upcountry greenway, and a designated bike path for Kula.

Safety Needed safety improvements were identified on Kula Highway at the intersections with Omaopio Road and Lower Kula Road, as well as the intersection of Hansen Road and Pulehu Road. Someone suggested Makani Road speed monitoring on the Pukalani side, and a flashing signal for pedestrians at the intersection of Makawao Avenue and Makani Road.

System Preservation Residents requested repaving of Pulehu and Omaopio Roads, Makawao Avenue to Kokomo Road, and Kokomo Road, especially last two miles to Haʻikū Road and in front of Haʻikū Market. There was a request to clear glycine vegetation from guardrails.

Capacity Capacity project requests included: Upcountry Highway from Haliʻimaile to Lipoa Street in Kīhei, expand lanes and increase speed limit on Kula Highway, and widen one-lane bridge above King Kekaulike to two lanes. An Upcountry resident who works in Pāʻia expressed concern about the amount of development going on in Haʻikū and Pukalani that will affect anyone's ability to get to Pāʻia, and create driver frustration. Residents felt that any bypass of Pāʻia would be a vast improvement to the current mini-bypass.

Other Workshop attendees wanted to know more about the process to add projects for consideration for federal funding, rather than being limited to the list provided by the agencies. People want an island-wide transportation plan, not one piece at a time.

Funding State Representative Kyle Yamashita shared information about HB2601, which proposed adding a supplemental fee on rental motor vehicles to fund the Pāʻia bypass and Lāhainā bypass through the State Highway Fund. He encouraged meeting attendees to testify in support of the bill to the State legislature.

Survey Results Kīhei North-South Collector Road was the #1 priority for South Maui, and also was #5 island-wide. North Kīhei Road Safety improvements also received support island-wide.


Multimodal There was a request to focus on rethinking our transportation system and instead of building more and more roads, focus on reducing the number of cars. For example, if public transportation was more practical and convenient, more people would use it. The community also would like to see sidewalks all along South Kīhei Road. Sidewalks along Piʻikea Street from the traffic circle to South Kīhei Road.

Capacity/ Congestion There was strong support to continue work on the Kīhei North-South Collector Road, although some acknowledged that West Maui faced the most serious transportation issues. Some expressed frustration that they’ve waited in traffic 30 years for the last few small sections of the Kīhei Collector Road to be finished: “As of 2010 Kīhei-Wailea-Mākena had the largest population of any area on Maui. Traffic is bad and, with all of the development, will only get worse if nothing is done. Pi‘ilani Highway was built as a bypass, but now has a substantial number of stop lights. The North-South Collector Road has been delayed too long already.”

Public Comments from Workshops and Surveys Disposition

Please keep Hana rural - no road expansions Referred to County Planning and DPW.

Provide signage about local traffic on Hana Hwy and to let people pass Referred to County DPW and HDOT Maui District.

Replace bridges State and County have programmed bridge replacements on

the TIP using their asset management systems.

Finish Lahaina bypass as planned. Considered by the State in TIP process. Project is not

financially feasible for the TIP. More round-abouts! MPO TAC has acknowledged the County DPW "roundabouts

first" policy.Please replace minor signalized and 4-way-stop intersections with roundabouts. MPO TAC has acknowledged the County DPW "roundabouts

first" policy.

Most critical project by far is Honoapiilani Highway. The Paia bottleneck is a big problem too but

there may be other lower hanging fruit to solve circulation in Paia Town. For example; modify mini-

bypass to allow 2 way traffic, connect to Hana Highway with a roundabout near Paia Youth center.

This would allow for restricted or eliminated left turns from Baldwin onto Hana Highway and also

could allow for restricted or eliminated left turns from Hana Highway onto Baldwin. This could be a

joint effort by the State County and private landowner.

MPO Executive Director met with survey respondent to

follow up on proposed idea.

Bike/ ped paths Comment will be considered in Long Range Transportation

Plan update.It seems a lot of wise observers feel that Maui needs to put a temporary moratorium on

construction perhaps 5 years ?, until such time a review of probable projects in the pipeline over

the next few years can be evaluated in terms of transportation , new road Construction and repair

projects for existing roadways .That would allow us to design and budget for future Road

construction and a reduction in new tourism impacts

Referred to County Planning.

I'd like to see every area get some $ TAC considered geographic equity for funding in the TIP

considered for 2022. As of 2010 Kihei-Wailea-Makena had the largest population of any area on Maui. Traffic is bad and,

with all of the development, will only get worse if nothing is done. Piilani Highway was built as a

bypass, but now, of necessity, a substantial number of stop lights. The North-South Collector Road

has been delayed too long already.

We need the mauka highway or we'll end up just like the west side Project not proposed for TIP due to funding constraints.

Connect Kihei to Makawao! Project not proposed for TIP due to funding constraints.

We need 2 lane roads turned into 4 lane roads like the Mokulele Hwy which had bottleneck traffic

for years until expanded. Why wait until traffic becomes almost unbearable? Poor planning, no $,

yet development never seems to slow down.

Extend Pi'ilani Hwy through Wailea Comment will be considered in Long Range Transportation

Plan update.Please add later commuter routes to Lahaina- more people want to ride the bus, but cannot due to

the limited hours!

Referred to MDOT.

I'd like to see focus on rethinking our transportation system so we avoid paving the entire island like

Oahu. Instead of building more and more roads, why not focus on reducing the number of cars. For

example, if public transportation was more practical and convenient, more people would use it.

Please no bypass to the Pi'ilani Hwy; it already is a bypass road Project not proposed for TIP due to funding constraints.

Expand Hana Highway - can you believe the mess from Haiku thru Pa'ia town? Expansion of Hana Highway was an alternative considered in

previous studies that State DOT decided not to pursue.

Please get the Paia bypass done soon. And please listen hard to the community. Please keep in mind

that the general plan needs updating. Please preserve as much green way as possible around Paia

bypass.

illustrative year.The Paia bypass is of highest priority to me. It is a stressful situation, not only sitting in traffic in

each direction for extremely long periods of time, but also because of safety issues. Tourists and

locals are crowded onto sidewalks, jay walking, and walking across intersections regardless of the

walk okay indicators on the signs. Turning right from Baldwin onto Hana Hwy is scary; the light says

it’s okay yet people dash out, frustrated drivers go too fast. I feel it’s only a matter of time before

there is a serious injury there.

TIP project "Pa'ia Relief Route" is being considered for 2023.

We need a bypass around Paia and Kuau. The hana highway should NOT be widened through this

area.


Traffic in both directions approaching Paia is the worst on the island. Please create a true bypass

from Haleakala Hwy to Hookipa Beach Park!


The $90+ million cost estimate for a bypass from Haleakala

Hwy to Ho'okipa exceeds the available budget for highways

on Maui.

Traffic congestion is Paia is getting even more ridiculous. Rather than just a car bypass, a bike

path/safe walk-way should be added to promote a healthy alternative to driving between Kahului &

Ho'okipa, especially Paia to Ho'okipa.

Pa'ia Relief Route environmental review and design will

include consideration of a multiuse path.

The Paia By-Pass needs to start mauka of the old Haleakala Highway short cut road or at least

mauka of Stable Road. It should continue on to at least Holomua Road and come out past Mama's

Fish House. I drive this route daily and it is highly congested in both directions during regular work

hours. This needs to be addressed as there is already a backlog and there will soon be an extra 200-

250 cars traveling this route daily as two new subdivisions in Haiku are almost completed that will

add these extra cars to the already overburdened Hana Highway between Haiku and Kahului.


The traffic backed up (worst ever) all the way on Hana Hwy to Haleakala Hwy intersection, usually

to Spreckelsville, just because of the Paia traffic during afterwork congestion. A bypass is absolutely

needed. The temporary "bypass" before Paia town has more than become insufficient. Ideally, the

bypass will take us beyond Baldwin Ave to Holomua (old Maui High road) or better to Hookipa as

the amount of traffic going past Haiku is increasing every day. Please, place this as the highest

priority for funding. We have been patiently waiting since the 1960s for this bypass to be built!


The proposed current route of the Paia Relief Route should definitely be changed. Instead of

terminating at Wa’a Place it should avoid the traffic and congestion at the turnoffs for the Kuau

Store and Mama’s Fish House in and end near Hookipa Beach Park.




In regards to Paia bypass, why stop the by pass at the proposed Wa'a st location and cause more

congestion in an area that has no room for future expansion. Please consider extending the road

just past Mama's fish house Near Holomua road, as a possible location to allow traffic to flow away

from residential homes. This would allow future expansion in an area not currently filled with

homes, children and limited space.




Provide maps of Paia Bypass including the one used in EA application Scope to be finalized during environmental review and

design phases. If federal money is allocated, why is 4 years time needed to start the project? Traffic is unbearable

and dangerous in Pa'ia/Kuau

TIP project "Pa'ia Relief Route" being considered for 2023.

You should have defined the projects before asking for a vote at the town meetings. Scope to be finalized during environmental review and

design phases. Process is way too slow, yet you try to avoid doing EIS and other essential preparations. State DOT will conduct additional public outreach during

environmental review phase. Paia bypass Road is the highest priority for everyone living in Haiku. TIP project "Pa'ia Relief Route" is being considered for 2023.

The county waited too long to build a bypass. Now we need new roads. New roads to Haiku (from

Haleakela Hwy to Haiku on the old county rd through the sugar cane fields) and West Maui (along

or through the West Maui's) need to be built before any new developments are allowed. Build the

roads first, then build new developments.

Going through Paia is already a major bottleneck - sometimes backed up to Mama's Fish House or

Haleakala Hwy in the other direction. Adding new housing in Haiku is only going to make this

worse. A bypass is critical for both the north shore community and visitors traveling to Hana.


The traffic and pedestrian mix in Paia is horrendous. With all of the development going on in Haiku

and East Maui it's only going to get worse. We desperately need a by-pass.

Move highway away from ocean and create roadside beachparks with beach front road See TIP Project "Honoapi'ilani Highway Realignment -

Olowalu to Pali" proposed for environmental review funds in

2023.

Pali to Puamana Parkway See TIP Project "Honoapi'ilani Highway Realignment -


2023.

Of all the projects, the moving of the highway inland at Olowalu is the most critical. With sea level

rise and the growing population in Lahaina/Kaanapali, it is truly a public safety issue. Bicycle routes

(the West Maui Greenway) need to be implemented at this time, too, to reduce congestion on the

highways.

See TIP Project "Honoapi'ilani Highway Realignment -


2023.

If the Honoapiilani Hwy realignment will make a bypass above the road, why does the shoreline

protection/mitigation program need to take place? I prefer the shoreline road that is too close to be

removed and make the area a natural beach park area leaving the shoreline natural. The road

would no longer need to be a thoroughfare, but can have connector roads for beach access. If there

is a reason why money needs to be spent on both projects then I need to see that data so that I can

make a better analysis. Until then, I say focus on the two lane alternative route and not clutter the

ocean front where erosion will continue to negate any transportation infrastructure.

See Shoreline Protection/Mitigation Program will include a

feasibility study of alternatives between mile marker 13.5-

14.5 of Honoapi'ilani Highway as a near to mid-term solution

Maui TIP 2019-2022 Public Input Summary – April 2018 p. 1

Maui MPO hosted a set of four public TIP workshops in April 2018 as a follow up to the February 2018 workshops. Each workshop was held from 6:00-8:00pm at various ADA-accessible community centers around the island. Approximately 50 people attended the workshops. The Maui MPO Executive Director gave a summary of public input from the February workshops and survey, and reiterated the federal mandate to focus on safety and system preservation. The presentation also reviewed the TAC and Policy Board role in narrowing down the project list to a financially constrained amount.

The public’s understanding of the purpose and role of the Maui MPO improved through the TIP public involvement process. Of the April survey respondents, approximately half of those who attended the second round of workshops also attended the first round. The questions asked during the Q & A session in the second round of workshops were more informed and focused on the TIP. This indicates that the presentation and discussion from the first round of workshops effectively laid the groundwork for the second round of workshops.

Helene Hall, Hāna – April 4, 2018 Public attendance: 10 people TAC members: Robin Shishido, HDOT District Engineer

The MPO presentation in Hana included an overview of the three County and six State bridges proposed for federal-aid in the 2019-2022 TIP, which will be replaced or rehabilitated according to guidelines in the State and County Hana Bridges Preservation Plans. Meeting attendees expressed concern about the vulnerability of Hana Highway to landslides, the need to maintain bridges, and the need to educate visitors in particular about safe behaviors and etiquette on Hana Highway. There was a request to paint bridges white to improve visibility at night. People enjoyed speaking with TAC member and HDOT District Engineer Robin Shishido, who was responsive to questions and comments about State facilities.

Pāʻia Community Center – April 9, 2018 Public Attendance: 14 people TAC members: Robin Shishido, HDOT District Engineer

Pam Eaton, Planning Long Range Administrator, TAC Chair

Discussion included clarification on the use of federal funds from 2022 and 2023 for the Kīhei North-South Collector Road, and the updated timeframe for Kaupakalua Road Reconstruction Phase 2. Meeting attendees wanting more information about the Pāʻia Relief Route were directed to an HDOT public informational meeting on April 17, 2018.

West Maui Senior Center – April 10, 2018 Public Attendance: 18 people Policy Board members: David Goode, DPW Director TAC members: Pam Eaton, Planning Long Range Administrator, TAC Chair

Robin Shishido, HDOT District Engineer Kathleen Aoki, Planning Implementation

Members of the public voiced support for projects like the West Maui Greenway, realignment of Honoapiʻilani Highway from Olowalu to the Pali, and Lahaina bypass Phase 1C. Senator Roz Baker


provided an update on HB2601, which proposes an additional $2 per day rental car tax to support implementation of road capacity projects through the State Highway Fund. Passage of this new revenue source would help enable the construction of Lahaina bypass Phase 1C, which is beyond the available budget of current federal appropriations.

Velma McWayne Santos Community Center – April 11, 2018 Public Attendance: 8 people Policy Board members: Don Medeiros, MDOT Director TAC members: Nolly Yagin, DPW Engineer, TAC Vice Chair

Robin Shishido, HDOT District Engineer Kathleen Aoki, Planning Implementation

Members of the public expressed support for Puʻunene Avenue Improvements, and asked for more information about the Central Maui Traffic Signal Upgrade. There was discussion about use of federal funds for capital projects, and local funds for maintenance activities, including vegetation clearance. Community members are interested in partnering with the State and County to maintain public access by assisting with maintenance.

Continue sharing the information and process. Outline process. I don't think most people know about this new planning. More public input. More publicity - PSA; not sure what would bring more people out. Keep issues of Lāhainā at meetings. Implement public ideas - not proposed by State and County. Live stream to get more of community in the know. The presentation was one-way. How can I help? Maintenance/overpasses? Provide details on individual projects for each community. Put all documents referred on-line ASAP even before the presentation as a separate tab.

FFY 2021 and 2022 are not fiscally constrained. The annual federal aid funding distribution target provided to

Maui MPO, which is also to include the programs on Molokai and Lanai, is $25 million each year. FFY of the Maui

program is currently programmed at $29.3 million. FFY 2022 of the Maui program is currently programmed at

$30.3 million. To obtain fiscal constraint of the 2019-2022 Maui Program, there are three options: 1. Defer

Projects; 2. Use Advance Construction to commit future years' federal aid funds; 3. A future option could be to

use obligation limitation from other jurisdictions. Based on discussions with Maui MPO and County DPW, it is

recommended that option 2, the AC of federal funds, be applied.

commentIf the “Powers that Be,” don’t allocate funding for additional highway/ roads on the North Shore it will

eventually be to the detriment of the entire island population. My friends are going now going to Kauai or the

Big Island for vacations because Maui is overcrowded. We’re not overcrowded, we don’t have the infrastructure;

yet huge building projects/subdivisions keep getting approved. Why aren’t these developers required to pay for

roads? In fact, every sale of new property should have a road use fee added to the cost. Every rental car

company and airlines should have a roadway improvement tax until we get the infrastructure in place for all the

building that will come as the airport grows and A&B Real Estate continues their path of selling outtheir major

asset- land, some of which we’re not even sure really belongs to them. For once it would be nice if everyone

would just do the right thing and be PONO!

commentI am disappointed that the MPO has left out the Lahaina By Pass completion North and needed new connector

roadways.The current debacle on Keawe Street is an insult to our community. I regret that MPO meetings are

Not being held in Lahaina either. My 40 + years working on transportation issues for West Maui has continued

to be proven to be frustrated by over- riding decisions being made outside of those which are in West Maui's

best interests despite the fact that we pay for over 50% of everything in taxes and fees to the County and State.

By announcements seen, the MPO's direction has been predetermined and I will not participate in that.

1. Your February survey had the Paia ByPass (Relief) Route at the top of everyones mind,2. A decision had not been made yet on the route, therefore,3. It would take another 2-3 years to get this Project going. Correct me if I am wrong.

comment

So I would like to clarify for you and the MPO these items: 1. The Paia-Haiku Community Plan became law by ordinance in 1995, 2. The ByPass Route

Corridor was decided on then, in 1995, 3. Our communities have been waiting 23 years already since the location had been decided on, 4. At the April 5,

2018 Paia Relief Advisory Group meeting held at Kaunoa Center, the consultant SSFM and memebers of H-DOT presented that a new route had been

selected, and basically the public could take it or leave it. Members of H-DOT are on your MPO, and did not take into consideration SEA LEVEL RISE, nor the

Paia-Haiku Community Plan route corridor as shown on the maps of the Community Plan. 5. The newly selected route begins in and runs parallel to Hana

Hwy., beginning across from Baldwin Beach Park, but in a FEMA designated FLOOD ZONE. It is also in a TSUNAMI EVACUATION ZONE, and an EXTREME

TSUNAMI EVACUATION ZONE. 6. On the other hand Kala Road, Sunnyside Road, Paia Mill Road, and the Hamakuapoko Roads are in the SAFE ZONES,

owned by the County of Maui, already on the ground and mostly in good condition. 7. These roads could be resurfaced now and put back in use at a

fraction of the cost of the other proposed routes. 8. The MPO appears to be completely ignoring the existing community plan and lacks community

involvement by turning your backs on the long established Paia-Haiku Community Plan. The contempt shown to the community at the April 5, PRAG

meeting is demonstrated by the take it or leave it position taken by H-DOT and SSFM. 9. The Flood Prone/Tsunami Prone Route dictated to the community

did not take into consideration SEA Level Rise, the FEMA Flood Zone status, nor the Tsunami Evacuation Zone Status. 10. MOP did not seek a "COMMUNITY

PLAN AMENDMENT" which is required to change the existing route corridor shown on the Community Plan map. The Hawaii Supreme Court has ruled that

community plans have the force and effect of law (see GATRI.)Would you please address my concerns above as I'm trying to understand how such a simple,

existing, and community decided/approved route could be completely derailed by your MPO.

Revision #4 Public Input Summary

Following the guidelines in the Policy Board-approved Maui MPO Public Participation Plan, Maui MPO Executive Director provided public notice of opportunity to comment on Revision #4 of the 2019-2022 Maui TIP via: Maui MPO website www.mauimpo.org; Press release to media outlets; Maui MPO email newsletter; Intergovernmental review and Stakeholder list.

Public notice was issued on July, 1, 2019 upon approval of a public review draft by the Maui MPO Policy Board, following recommendation by the Maui MPO Technical Advisory Committee.

Maui MPO received the following public comments regarding Revision #4:

Comment Disposition 1. Joseph Pluta Recently reviewed minutes of MPO meeting whereby Sen Roz Baker attempted to clarify the role of the State legislature with respect to the State Funding for Highways.

Especially interesting was that it seems a sweeping review is in order of prior policy board priorities as the former MPO Policy Board did not have State Legislative Representation and may explain why prior policies of MPO Policy Board were not in synchronization with actual public Interest priorities.

So very pleased to see that there is a recognition that the MPO policies should be representative of what the public needs are with respect to the West Maui Community who has been pleading for the Lahaina Bypass to Kaanapali for over 36 years! The Kaanapali Connection has always been the number one priority. The Kaanapali Development Corp, aka Kaanapali Land Management now, had the Environmental Impact Statement, (EIS), for the bypass completed and dedicated over 20 years ago.

Now it seems that FHWA Funding Planning years chart shows Lahaina Bypass 1-c for 2023-24. - This needs to be 2020-21! It has not been assigned any public priority and we respectfully submit it to be a Number One Priority!

The draft TIP revision #4 does not make it easy for the public to easily identify revisions which seem to have been blended in with whatever was there before and will make it difficult for public review accordingly.

Thousands of Kaanapali Hotel and Resort Employees and thousands of tourist/ visitors commute on the bypass each day and want to be able to directly enter and exit the bypass at Kaanapali and not Keawe Street.

Thanks for your email. Lahaina bypass north has been acknowledged as a priority for State highway capacity funding anticipated from the additional rental car surcharge passed by the State legislature in 2019. Until the new revenues have been established and legislature approves HDOT bonding authority, the project can't be moved into the financially constrained years 2019-2022. TIP Revision #4 is shown in red lettering in the public review document on the Maui MPO website: https://mauimpo.org/public-review-comment Your comments will be provided to the MPO Policy Board members for consideration.

Please modify priorities to expedite the Northern Portion Phase 1-C as soon as possible.

2. Joe Bertram III Please add the bike/ped trail on the mauka edge of the Piilani Hwy road corridor as defined in our open space masterplan to address one of the most deadly pedestrian/ bike routes in Kihei.

Thanks for your email. The bike/ped trail along Pi'ilani Highway is among the projects being considered in Hele Mai Maui Long Range Transportation Plan. Mahalo for your efforts on behalf of Maui.

3. Erin Pinto Comment related to the Paia Bypass and bike lanes on Baldwin/elsewhere: I would like to see the analysis of the effect of removal of parking on Hana Highway and restricting left turns to designated turn lanes, and what effect that would have on traffic. This seems like such a simple, immediate fix, I don’t understand why it hasn’t been done. Yes, doing away with parking is an issue, but a much easier to solve than a bypass.

If a bypass is considered to be necessary, please show the analysis of why the suggestion of streamlining Hana Highway traffic will not work. If necessary, it should not go through a downtown neighborhood, such as Poni Pl. It is too much traffic to direct to a residential neighborhood and the impacts would be severely negative. The bypass should begin at Hana and Haleakala Highways and should end past Hookipa. Please add bike lane analysis to all projects. It was hard to believe that the recent repaving of Baldwin Ave. did not include any widening whatsoever for bikes headed uphill or downhill. The many uphill cyclists could be much safer with a full bike lane where possible, or even a few inches where not possible. Many of the downhillers let their group get spread out where there will be several stragglers riding their brakes and not pulling over. They need extra room on the downhill side for safety and common courtesy, and the operators making money off this business should pay/help pay for it. Why was widening not included, and since it wasn’t, why isn’t it being included in housing developer’s projects/downhiller’s fees?

#1 Many have lost their jobs when commuting to the westside of the island do to buses not running on time. Myself sitting in the Ma'alaea Town Harbor for up to 2 hours. Then the domino effect kicks in with connecting with the bus to the north into Honokowai with the last bus running as far as Whales Village Mall in the evening. Which leaves the Wharf at 8:30 PM - Thus, those, working in the North beach area of Honokowai and points further north not having transportation further north. Would be great the have that 8:30 Bus do the full run into Kapalua.

#2 MAUI BUS STOPS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY - We know that this has brought great liability to County of Maui - Roberts Hawaii - Private Property Owners - As Well As Private Security Company's - Threw a Private Security Company at Whales Village Mall, and the Maui Police Department an internal investigation was lunched. Myself not being aloud to board a Maui Bus threw hear say by a private security guard story told to MPD. Then, not, being aloud to board a public bus, on private property. The two officers reinforced that with myself on May 14, 2019 - Which has now revolved into a FEDERAL US TRANSPORTATION COMPLAINT - INVESTIGATION. Discrimination; myself being white. With two brown skin MPD officers being named in the federal complaint. With e-mails going out to County - State, and Federal government, in Washington DC.

#3 Our thoughts are that the hwy between Kahului, and Lahaina should be patrolled by high profile policing - Just because of the number of accidents. As a visual awareness to drivers of their speed control - and their overall driving behaviors.

5. Walle Landenberger Aloha, I would like to speak to Public Revised Draft 4 – MC 12 – Makawao Ave and Makani Rd in Makawao Town. I live on Makani Rd and have used the Maui Bus almost every day to get to work and back.

I also walk into town along Makawao Avenue and sometimes use the section of “sidewalk” on Makawao Ave that is quite dangerous as it is really just an extension of the road with a faded and some places missing white line to buffer vehicles from pedestrians. I also used the Commuter Bus for a few years until a fixed route began. I would walk pretty much in the dark from Eddie Tam to Makani Road. When I did this I walked on the makai side of the street because the mauka was just too dangerous. There is no walkway on the Makai side and it is hilly with grass and at one point there are remnants for an old rock wall that cause you to have to be very

careful because if you slip you may end up in the roadway. When it rains it is even more dangerous.

I also walk up and down the “sidewalked” side of Makani Rd. This too can be very dangerous partly from the loose pebbles from the disintegrating asphalt “sidewalk” along with the debris from people cutting their lawns and trimming their hedges. It is also dangerous because vehicles park in the walking area forcing pedestrians to walk out in the street to get around them. This happens near the top of the hill down to the area where the plumeria trees grow. In the evening when people use Makani Rd to avoid the intersection of the By-pass Highway and Makawao Ave., you cannot see the upcoming vehicles until it is dark enough that they turn on their headlights. I have had my share of falls along this stretch mostly because of sliding on loose pebbles in the dark and one time on a piece of a tree branch remnant that rolled me into a fence.

The Bus Stop up at the intersection leaves waiting passengers and passing pedestrians very exposed to vehicles turning onto Makawao Ave. from Makani. They are generally trying to get out before the next group of vehicles make their way from either direction of Makawao Ave. and they “hit the gas”. When I wait for the bus, I am constantly watching traffic from Makani and also traffic on the mauka side of Makawao Ave. Because there is a speed-table at the crosswalk and many vehicles travel fast enough to get a bit airborne from the rise. They do also from the other direction, but there is less chance of ending up on a pedestrian. I remember a collision with a mailbox and people do walk along that side.

A few years ago the Public Works Department was planning to “improve” Makani Rd. and had a meeting at the school. Milton Arakawa, the PW Director, ran the meeting. The residents who came, I was among them, Gladys Baisa (then on the Council) was also there. One of the biggest concerns was a letter from the County regarding the taking of more land from people along the roadways east side in order to widen the road. I spoke to a neighbor who had lived there for many years and I got to hear about how the County had already taken some of their front yard and now they wanted more. I also heard from a few folks about the idea of a signal at Makani and Makawao with “Islands”. This really angered folk. The “want” was no thanks with the design.

What did come from the community regarding the intersection, was to try a 3-way stop. This would be a traffic calming solution, help keep the speed down, you wouldn’t need a speed-table. You also would have people take their turns as they do at Makawao and Baldwin. And you wouldn’t have a signal!

materials, at www.mauimpo.org Additionally, your comments will be forwarded to the County Department of Public Works and Department of Transportation for review.



I hope the sidewalk solution is a raised cement walkway for Makawao Ave. for BOTH sides of the road. This would help pedestrians to not have to cross the roadway at Eddie Tam to get to a real sidewalk. It gets very dangerous at that crosswalk because there is a gentle curve in the road and when vehicles are moving quickly it is difficult for them to see you and vice versa. Plus having a sidewalk on the makai side would allow pedestrians to face the traffic and just be safer.

I hope that with these improvements a full bus stop might happen at Makani Rd. There are people who would use the Makani stop, but walk down to Eddie Tam if they have a long wait as there are seats. In order to do this they have to walk on the sometimes treacherous part of Makawao Ave. especially in the rain. The Eddie Tam stop has a bit of shelter, although it leaks and the few times I have gone down there because of rain, it didn’t make much difference as far as staying dry. I don’t think the roof is pitched steep enough and if I remember right, the back of the roof had no rain gutter and it came all over the seats.

6. John Wilson I know the TIP is an attempt to program available Federal Funds. Therefore, it may not include projects that are only County funded. The Upcountry meeting comments had reference to the safety and congestion concerns at the intersection of Pulehu and Hanson Roads and a note that it was referred to the Maui County of Public Works.

I, as a user of Pulehu Road and as a board member of the Kula Community Association, am concerned on what is being done to improve the safety and congestion at the referenced intersection. The congestion is particularly noticeable in the morning busy hours before 8am when cars on Pulehu Road can be backed up 15 to 20 cars. Hanson Road is busy due to traffic cutting off to Kihei from Hana Highway at that time and the sight distance on Pulehu to the right is obscured due the angle of the intersection. KCA Board has recommended traffic signals at the intersection. However, as a temporary measure, stop signs on Hanson Road may assist to provide some relief. Or perhaps the county can improve the sight distance to the right.

MPO Board member Rowena, as Director of the County of Maui Public Works Department, may have additional comments on my inquiry.

- I understand that TIP Projects continue to be financially constrained based on anticipated FHWA and local matching funds. However, specifically to MS9-Pu’unene Ave Improvements, currently priority #10, with a total cost of $14million, I am continuing to be concerned that this Project “would be included where feasible” as I know the traffic continues to increase and our egress and ingress to our residential street continues to be impacted every day.

Specifically to MC20, Wakea and Kamehameha Ave improvements, currently priority #17, is this Project “timed” with the current improvements taking place at Airport Access (Dairy) Rd and Kuihelani Hwy? Once these improvements are completed what will happen to the flow of traffic on Pu’unene Ave through to where MC20 is to take place.

I am not clearly understanding of the relation of MS13, Pu’unene Ave Improvements, to the aforementioned MS9. While MS9 has an “overall” priority ranking of #10, it is #1 in “local” priority ranking. I believe this is validating of my long-time and on-going concern of what I believe is increasing and negatively impacting traffic on Pu’unene Ave visa-a-vis continuing delaying of a much needed Pu’unene Ave. CIP/ TIP Project.

I daily travel Pu’unene Ave and continue to be concerned about the traffic AND contain get difficulty of pedestrians trying to cross east to west and west to east.

8. Laurent Zahnd Aloha respected members of the Maui MPO Policy board, First of all, I want to give you a big Mahalo for your service and your leadership in solving Maui's transportation issues. As a citizen interested both in politics and transportation, but also as an ex-public transit employee of the Swiss Federal Railways, I hope I can bring my Mana'o to offer a vision of our big potential to turn those problems into long-term opportunities for our community but also for consolidating the attractiveness of our tourism destination. I'm going to try being as brief as possible, but overstanding that transportation is tied to a lot of aspects of our lives - as it implies more than simply moving our physical bodies and possessions around - it has multiple holistic implications that I am going to try shine more light on for you today. Here are my key observations and how we can start implementing them.

MAIN OBSERVATION: There are too many cars on our roads. Mostly rental cars. The context from my perspective: Maui is preparing to expand its Airport to become an International Travel destination and that will inevitably increase the number of visitors over time. The completion of Lahaina and Paia bypasses will relieve the most urgent stress on the short-term, but over time it will simply displace the problems to other very limited sections of our road infrastructure that are already reaching a critical capacity today: the rest of the Pali and the Hana Highway are the most critical examples. Side-effects of the bypasses with potential diminution of business volume for Lahaina and Paia businesses are also a critical factor, as they don't have Kahului's resilience to recover as Dairy Road will hopefully soon. My question to you today is: How can we reduce the amount of rental cars instead of building new costly road infrastructure that will permanently damage this paradise and ultimately fail at solving the core of the issue anyway? For those of you serving as political leaders, it is important to lead the way with solutions that ultimately work and serve your agenda as a political leader. Partial solutions, even though increasing the value of contracts for development companies in the short run, will only undermine the perception of the leadership by the public, who will remain frustrated over time. A perceivable success can differentiate you as a leader for the years to come and protect you from the rise of progressive challengers, instead of your work simply being an administrative procedure that will risk being quickly forgotten, you can actually make a historic shift for the future of this County as a sustainable and thriving destination. Here is my Mana'o, broken down in time to make the first steps easy and financially acceptable, while maintaining a long-term vision towards excellence of service for our community and our visitors. Long-Term Vision: Two main axes: 1)Transfer the increasing amount of tourist visitors onto efficient & eco-friendly public transit routes serving hotels and centers of interests in a distributed and yet fast & efficient manner. 2) Offer efficient door-to-door commuting for locals to go to work and easily access the economic centers of interests

Additionally, your comments will be forwarded to the County Department of Transportation for review.


(shopping, leisure, schools), taking no more than 20% extra time than car travel and cutting monthly transportation costs in half, therefore drastically reducing our Island dependency on fossil fuel. The perception of public transportation as a socially acceptable & reliable transportation mode is the first thing to work on in order to reach that vision. To my knowledge, and after my last meeting with Mrs. Armstrong and Mr. Takamori, there is $0 existing budget for marketing the public transit to the public as of today. Perception is crucial, and to move towards a success-story, the Public transit system must become the prime way to visit Maui and move around the island, easily enabling visitors to commute from Airport to Hotel and from Hotel to points of interests. I invite you as members of this board to take a minute and think about what it would take for you to want to use Public Transportation to come to work? I identified so-called Customer Experience (CX) Must-Haves & Delighters that could be major triggers for converting people into customers of the Public Transit System: a) Safety It is a feeling that can be enhanced using communication and design in conjunction with the typical security cameras and staff presence. Safety, especially for women travelers, is a critical must-have, and lack thereof is an immediate turn-off. The bus, as well at bus stop areas have to be designed and equipped in a way that enhances the feeling of safety, and creates opportunities for constant public monitoring, such as commercial activity and support staff. Police sub-stations should be implemented at the main stops so that Police Officers stay there instead of their Community Centers sub-stations. Public transit stops are now a gathering place for homeless people and this issue could be transformed into an opportunity to create innovative reinsertion programs and use them as a workforce to staff the bus stops, of course after thorough training and self-care. I can see that some homeless people would like to contribute to the community but have a hard time finding any opportunities due to their socio-economic status. Helping them find purpose on their own grounds can be easy to implement, lead the example for more people needing reinsertion, reduce social assistance costs and increase public safety on the streets. (That, of course, is beyond the scope of Transportation itself but is an intricate part of it, as it generates visceral fear and resistance from the public to use the public transit system and has to be addressed in priority).


b) Reliability With the present frequency on some lines being every hour and a half, and terrible commuting times between different parts of the Island often making bus travel twice or three times longer than car travel, the bus is now incapable of attracting customers other than the ones simply not having any other choice. The bus system shouldn't satisfy itself from providing that minimum level of service, but instead, have the customer experience in mind as a foundation. The customer will need at least connections every 20-30 minutes to be ok if they happen to miss the bus, and the connections will have to be fast and seamless. Today the buses go out of main routes into many detours as there is no difference between transit modes. It is crucial to separate fast transit and door-to-door, so that people will use only the door-to-door service serving their own origin or destination, and connect shortly to a fast line that will transport them to other towns, with always staying on the highways to optimize both travel time and use of vehicles, so that the investment in vehicle assets doesn't need to be drastic from the start. Experiments can be run using the existing resources and complementing them with Uber/Lyft for instance, as other pilot projects are now doing to prepare for self-driving vehicles. c) Economic benefit Augmenting the service offer with higher frequency and reach will inevitably raise the price of tickets & passes. It is crucial to diversify the source of income with higher-priced tourist passes that will still be a bargain regarding the cost of a rental car. Customers will only take the bus if it is almost as reliable as a car in terms of travel time and destinations offered, if it is safe and comfortable, but also, of course, it will attract countless customers if, on top of all that, it is still half cheaper than a car on a monthly basis. Visitors' weekly passes should be available at 80% of the price of a monthly Kama'aina pass, therefore enabling funding of our local citizen transportation with visitors dollars and not County and State budgets. d) Ease of use People will have much resistance in changing their habits, and everything has to be put in place to facilitate their transition. A big thing with transportation is travel anxiety. It is related to the unknown aspects such as: will the bus be there, will it be on time, how will I find the connections, how will I know when it's my stop, will it be safe or will there be bums and pickpockets, will it be convenient or will I have to walk and carry my luggage. All those points have to be integrated into the development of the service offer


and reflected in the marketing to counter objections and delight the early users daring to make the transition, in order to convert them into raving fans and generate a beneficial coconut wireless impact to "cross the chasm" as we say in marketing, and attract the pragmatic crowd. e) Social acceptance Only when all those factors are in place - and their efficiency proved to early adopters - can the Maui Bus transition from its bad rep of being only frequented by bums and the lower class, to becoming an efficient mode of transportation that fulfills the transportation & lifestyle needs of locals and tourists. Mid-Term Vision: Implementing fast transit routes staying on highways from one extremity of the network to another with fewer stops, with all lines converging at a new HUB in their middle (like in most respectable transit systems, the HUB isn't the end of the lines but its middle, facilitating faster transit and synchronized connections between all extremities of the network). The HUB should be at the edge of Kahului to not lose time commuting through town to transit between all destinations. A proposed map of the system is posted online on bit.ly/maui-rapid-transit (More research I personally did for identifying the best HUB locations and designing new bus lines & schedules is available upon request) The fast transit stops should include same platform connections (only HUB has several commuting platforms), combine P+R parking (add-on revenue), fast pick-up & drop-off for the public & cabs/uber/lyft, bike racks, and vendor area for food trucks and made on Maui products (vendors increase the customer travel experience and more importantly the overall feeling of safety at the bus stop, while generating add-on revenue AND boosting the local economy at almost no cost). Maui Bus should be a county agency cashing in on the huge potential of in-vehicle video ad display revenue with an increased number of target visitors, creating a business model mostly financed by ad revenue and outside visitors, still giving them an excellent deal by cutting their on-Island transportation costs in half (or more), and still offering locals an affordable price after compiling the cost related to the increase in service offering.

http://bit.ly/maui-rapid-transit

http://bit.ly/maui-rapid-transit


When we think about the main needs of our visitors, we think about the experience of visiting Hawai'i and the desire to learn about Hawai'i. Maui Bus could be providing additional perks like free Bluetooth audio tour guides, that could be made by collecting and curating storylines and narratives from natives and locals through a community program sponsored by other agencies (eg.OHA). Traditional Art & Design should also be sponsored through those avenues to make the bus stops and bus interior an enjoyable and enriching experience to all. That being said we all know how frustrating uneducated tourists can be to our local population, and all that could be an efficient way to capture their ongoing attention and deliver value to the visitors, and at the same time accomplishing that very complex mission of education for a very modest cost. On the long run, properties bought by the Transit agency for implementing its main transit HUB and stops, as well as their vicinity should be developed as a diversified zoning mix including retail, services like child-care, assisted living for seniors and prime apartments on top of that to add value. Public-Private partnerships are the best option to guarantee this is done in a way that benefits all stakeholders in our Community and brings enough revenue to transform the transit system from a debt-generating agency to a profit & job-generating one that will create a ripple effect for more economic growth. Studies from the American Transit Association and the International Union of Public Transit systems all prove that reliable transit systems boost local business eco-systems and increase property value on the long-run. Short-term Vision: Today, the bus lines going through the Airport are going to Ha'iku and Upcountry, this is the first thing that has to change by instead implementing fast highway transit to Kihei-Wailea and Lahaina-Kaanapali, and offer hotel commuter services to hotels wanting to participate in a pilot program at a modest monthly cost. Marketing campaigns embedded within scalable market research studies have to be initiated to reach those targets. To reduce marketing costs, partnerships have to be developed to inform visitors through the participating hotels, the Visitor bureau, and the Airport facilities. There should also be some PR to praise the early hotel partners as heroes supporting our Community.


Those were my observations and summary of propositions to solve Maui's Transportation issues and maintain the position of our Island as a top destination for the decades to come. Now as a side note to those of you who are in the political arena and for your long career to come, I think that local voters all around the Island will favor having secondary County roads and their related waterflow fixed for good and not only quickly resurfaced until the next rain comes. I predict that reducing rental cars on the main roads by boosting Public Transit will enable you to evangelize around for focusing the budget on our County secondary roads, and that should have more electoral impact and ripple effect than simply waiting for the resolution of our 2 current bypass issues that are long overdue to the eyes of the public and won't solve traffic issues on the long run as the number of visitors increases. To this, I want to add that most bypass projects have a negative impact on local businesses, which the bus will solve by killing 2 birds with one stone, as it will also solve the issue of parking that is threatening all major points of interest on our Island. I hope that this quick download of my Mana'o inspired by my short 7year experience of our Island as well as the Swiss transit system (one of the most efficient public transit system in the World by the way) helped seed in your mind potential alternatives to solve our issues and boost our economy at the same time. As I mentioned previously, I further developed some aspects of this plan and would be happy to continue this discussion with you at any time. Dear members of the Maui MPO Policy Board, Mahalo Nui for your time & attention. I wish you a great meeting and a lovely rest of your day, thanking you again for your constant dedication and service to our community!

Public notice was issued on December 13, 2019 upon approval of a public review draft by the Maui MPO Policy Board, following recommendation by the Maui MPO Technical Advisory Committee.

Maui MPO received the following public comments regarding Revision #6:

Comment Disposition 1. Michael Hunter

To whom it may concern,

This email is my opinion on the projects listed in Maui TIP Revision #6. I am a cyclist who often rides on S. Kihei Rd. The sections of the road which are in severe disrepair, particularly near Kilohana and the boat launch area, have become dangerous to cyclists. Drivers often straddle the rough road by placing their right res in the shoulder/bike lane. If a cyclist must pass someone else in the shoulder/bike lane and move into the car lane, the rough road makes bike handling difficult. Of course, as a cyclist, anything that can improve the safety and riding experience, such as the West Maui Greenway project, on Maui is welcome.

Aloha, I am a Maui resident living in Kihei and would like to suggest 5 items for the TIP/Transportation Improvement Program. 1) I would like to request that bike paths, separate from the roadway, be implemented on all new roadway projects. It is too dangerous to have bikes just a few feet away from texting and distracted drivers. An ideal type of bike path is the Mokulele Hwy/Maui Veterans Highway bike path which is 15' away from the highway separated by grassy median, it would be great if this could be implemented for example on the Kihei portion of Piilani Highway from the intersection with N.Kihei Rd all the way south to Makena. 2) Mokulele Highway was a nice Hawaiian name and I propose changing the Maui Veterans Highway to the "Mokulele Maui Veterans Highway". Most people still refer to it as Mokulele so this way you can kill 2 birds with one stone, i.e. the honor the veterans but not remove an indigenous heritage name like Mokulele.

Comments provided to County Department of Public Works and State Department of Transportation for consideration.



3) Piilani Highway segments should be renamed to reflect where on the island it is -- it is confusing to have one single highway name for widely dispersed areas in various different parts of the island. Or, append a geographic indicator like "Piilani Hwy Kihei" or "Piilani Hwy Kaupo". 4) This is a suggestion about Maui Veterans Highway (former Mokulele Hwy). Often tourists or overseas visitors go slow in the left lane, and the state has put signs to the right of the highway saying "slower traffic keep right" or a similar message. My suggestion is to put those signs on the left side of each track of the highway so that people in the left lane who are going slower than the prevailing rate, will see them. I notice some other signs are double, i.e. on both right and left sides of the track, that would also be good, but the most important thing is since those signs are specifically for people going slow in the left lane, to go ahead and put them to the left of the left lane so they will be more visible and noticeable for those drivers. 5) This is a request regarding the area of Lipoa St, Kihei, in front of the 41 E.Lipoa St shopping plaza, including Hawaii USA Credit Union. Something is wrong with the curb there, when you exit at the west end of that shopping plaza, your car is heavily jerked by the transition from the shopping plaza to E. Lipoa St. I.e. as you turn onto E.Lipoa St, whether you are going straight out or left or right, your whole car spasms with a momentous series of jerks as you drive onto Lipoa St. (This is worst at the west end of the shopping plaza, the exit next to First Hawaiian Bank.) I recommend the County repave this small section of Lipoa St gutter to maybe raise the gutter level so cars have a smoother transition onto the roadway? I drive this many times each week because my gym is there plus I bank at Hawaii USA and my shocks are about to fail because of this rough treatment by the incorrect roadway level. Thank you for considering my requests. Aloha, Peter Gelsey 3. Todd Miller

Ma’am- Kalama Street off Liholiho in Wailuku is in desperate need of repaving. I am hoping this can be added to your list. Thank you.

4. Marc Rosenthal Thank you in advance for taking the time to review the county’s pavement projects. I submitted a request on COMConnect months ago, but have not received any response. Mauka side of mile marker 2 on Piiholo road is becoming very unsafe. This section of badly eroded road has been neglected for decades and is quickly becoming dangerous. There are loose sections of road reduced to rubble and even worse, there are large portions of this stretch of road that do not have painted lane markings. People routinely drive on the wrong side of the road on blind curves. I have been run off the side of the road into an embankment (mile marker 4) by a county school bus trying to avoid a large pothole TWICE in the past month. Please evaluate this section of road before someone gets hurt. Thank you again. Marc D. Rosenthal, MD

Comments provided to County Department of Public Works. DPW to clarify which portions of Pi‘iholo Road are County-owned and to provide information regarding pavement condition.

5. Rob Weltman Aloha e Lauren, Thank you for including "Lipoa Drive to Auhana Road and Keonekai Road to Kilohana Drive" in the now prioritized "Rehabilitating South Kihei Road Pavement" project. Those segments are heavily used by visitors and residents alike, especially the first of the two segments, and they need improvements for safety as well as to keep Maui Nō Ka ‘Oi in the minds of our visitors.

We are residents is Kaanapali. We need the bypass extended SOUTH towards Kahalui, not North to Kaanapali. Getting to Costco and other locations from the west side is painfully time-consuming for residents on the Pali. Moving the bypass northward does nothing to fix the two-lane traffic going south to Kahalui - especially when there are accidents, fires, etc. on the Pali. Thank you for your consideration. Jill and John Nicholson

Comments provided to State of Hawaii Department of Transportation.


7. Buff Weaver Aloha, thank you for taking on a huge project that affects the entire island community. The biggest challenge is the Pali highway. It was built for fewer cars and the rising waters are making us look for solutions. Here are my ideas: Make better use of the Kapalua airport from Oahu to West Maui. Resort shuttles can pick up and visitors can do rent a car by the hour or day. Start building a northbound highway going the Wailuku way. We can use bridges and bypass the small communities that want to be left alone. We have studied the solutions to death, it is time for action. Thank you

Comments provided to State Department of Transportation.

8. Clive Drew My priority request is for a traffic light to be installed at the intersection of Pulehu Road and Hansen Road. This is an extremely dangerous intersection because of its diagonal nature and the speed of through traffic on Hansen Road. And there is so much more traffic going to/from the landfill and green waste and now more traffic going to/from the new Safeway and the growing business activity on Ho’okele Street. And, there is more commute traffic on Omaopio and Pulehu Roads partly as a result of development and Kula commuters using this route as a diversion to avoid the traffic congestion on Haleakala Hwy. There is also the negative effect of residents doing roadside dumping at night rather than risk the intersection during daylight hours. I consider this a matter of urgency to implement and not dragged our for years just for a “study” or some lame mitigating measures like speed limits on Hansen Road that motorists will simply ignore. Sincerely, Clive Drew

Project Location: West Maui

Considerations: The purpose of this project is to improve safety for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. Keawe Street is deficient in its ability to accommodate high traffic volumes, which doubled during peak hours since the opening of Lāhainā Bypass Phase 1B2 in April 2018. Extension of the Lāhainā Bypass to Ka’anapali will provide a key network linkage between Central and West Maui which is a major economic engine for the state. There will be an increase in operating and maintenance costs due to an additional roadway in the State’s inventory. Bypass and connector road are proposed mauka of Honoapi’ilani Highway ROW mostly of land used formerly for sugar cultivation.

Lāhainā Bypass Phase 1C Location: Keawe Street Extension to future Ka’anapali Connector

Description: Design and construct two-lane roadway, graded for four lanes.

Cost Estimate (2019-2022): $0 (Illustrative Years 2023-2024 $49,000,000)

Project Location: ISLANDWIDE & WEST MAUI

Shoreline Protection/Mitigation Program Location: Various, including Honoapiʻilani Highway near Olowalu and Ukumehame

Description: Protect roadways from flooding & erosion based on Statewide Shoreline Protection Program that is being updated. Honoapiʻilani Highway MP 13.5-14.5 is identified in the Draft Preliminary Statewide Shoreline Field Investigation Report, dated 8/31/17, as a Priority 1 site. The project is in the environmental review phase and the scope is not finalized. Probable alternatives to be considered in the environmental phase include (1) roadway realignment, (2) non-hardening to protect the roadway, and (3) no build. Remaining funds will be used in other locations in Maui District.

Cost Estimate (2019-2022): $13,000,000 (Illustrative years 2023-2024 $2,000,000)



Considerations: If this program is deferred, there is risk that surface transportation access to West Maui will be cut off due to continual shoreline erosion that is currently impacting the roadway. West Maui holds 26% of the population and 32% of employment. Honoapiʻilani Highway provides the only access to the island's primary business and social service centers and to harbors and airports for the movement of people and freight. Completion of the project will reduce future maintenance costs by eliminating the need for recurring fixes.

Project History: This segment of shoreline along Honoapiʻilani Highway is identified as one of the six priority sites on the island of Maui per the Statewide Highway Shoreline Protection Study 2003. Long Range Transportation Plan 2035 Protect bridge supports & roadway embankments from shoreline erosion, Cost Estimate $208,000,000.

Guardrail & Shoulder Improvements Location: Various locations. Phase 1 Hali’imaile Rd MP 0-2.62 from Haleakala Hwy to Baldwin Ave.

Description: Construct new metal guardrail & guardrail treatments, upgrade existing traffic signage & markings.

Cost Estimate (2019-2022): $800,000



Considerations: If this project is deferred, the sub-standard guardrail heights and end treatments along with the substandard reflectivity of the existing traffic signs may lead to an increased severity of traffic crashes and related injuries. If this project is constructed, there will be an increase of operating and maintenance costs due to additional metal guardrails and end treatments in the County's inventory. However, the increase in operating and maintenance costs of the new guardrails and signage will most likely be offset with the savings from decreased lawsuits against the County due to injuries. Project History: STIP 2015-2018 Illustrative years MC5 Estimated total project cost $4,500,000.

Makawao Ave Pavement Rehabilitation Location: Makawao Avenue, Pi’iholo Rd to Apana Rd

Description: Pavement resurfacing and reconstruction, reconstructing existing curb ramps and sidewalks to be ADA compliant, replacing existing signs, pavement markings and striping.

Cost Estimate (2019-2022): $5,925,000



Considerations: If this project is deferred, the pavement will continue to degrade and will require more costly treatment, such as pavement reconstruction throughout the entire street. Existing curb ramps will remain non-compliant with current ADA standards. No measures to improve safety, such as replaced signage and striping, will be implemented. The pavement evaluation program used by the County of Maui is called Iworq, a web-based application wherein the County's roadway inventory is evaluated in-person, tracked, and managed. Iworq's 2018 evaluation concluded that the pavement ranged from poor to good conditions. The conditions have since degraded. The proposed project will reconstruct the roads that are in poor condition and resurface that are in fair condition. Project History: Hele Mai Maui 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan

Kīhei North-South Collector Road Phase 1 Location: North South Collector Rd (Kulanihakoi St to Namauu Pl) Phase 1 MP 1.59-1.99

Description: Construct new 2 lane road with separated greenway to accommodate pedestrians & bikes, new concrete curb & gutters, traffic signage & markings, street lighting.

Cost Estimate (2019-2022): $24,873,000 (Illustrative years 2023-2024 AC $8,000,000)



Considerations: If this project is deferred, the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) along Pi’ilani Highway and South Kīhei Road will continue to rise until they are over capacity. This in turn will increase travel times and traffic congestion along these existing routes. The North-South Collector Road would improve multimodal circulation and provide transportation options to alleviate congestion and improve quality of life. If this project is constructed, there will be an increase of operating and maintenance costs due to an additional roadway in the County's inventory. However, the operating and maintenance costs of the existing roadways will decrease due to the drop in ADT which the new roadway will alleviate. Project History: Long Range Transportation Plan 2035 North–South Collector Rd - Uwapo Rd to Wailea-Ike Dr, Cost Estimate $51,144,000.

Hāna Highway Bridge Preservation Location: Hāna Highway (Rte 360), Bridge Preservation Program, Hāna. Phase 1 Bridges: 1) Puohokamoa, 2) Kopiliula, 3) Mokulehua, 4) Ulaino, 5) Kailua, 6) Makanali. Bridges for Phase 2 will be prioritized as funding availability gets closer & will reflect the latest bridge inspection data.

Description: Existing bridges will be rehabilitated or replaced to meet design standards, except with limitations contained in the preservation plan for historic bridges. Lengthen structure, bridge rails to redirect errant vehicles, seismic design, eliminate possibility of pier scour, designed for present day vehicular loads. Bridge width including shoulders will be governed by historic preservation plan, and bridges will likely remain single-lane.




Considerations: If this program is deferred, it will deny the public who travel this route from having safer and more efficient facilities. Bridge closure can significantly impact economic vitality for Hāna. Vehicles weighing more than 10 tons will still be restricted until all of the bridges affecting the load restriction on the route are replaced or rehabilitated. Annual operation and maintenance costs will increase in if bridges are not replaced.

Project History: This project is part of the Highway Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement Program that considers bridge improvement needs as well as historic preservation goals and geographic challenges of Hāna Highway. These bridges are deficient and eligible to use eligible federal funds. Long Range Transportation Plan 2035 Bridge rehab/replace, Cost Estimate $24,600,000. En

Memorandum

To: Maui MPO Technical Advisory Committee

From: Lauren Armstrong, Executive Director

Date: January 31, 2020

Re: Agenda item V.a. Unified Planning Work Program

Maui MPO Executive Director is beginning to put together the FY 2021 Maui MPO Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), and requests input from TAC on planning studies that could be done with MPO planning funds. As background, the following studies are underway or in the pipeline for Maui, grouped by lead agency:

Maui MPO • Vision Zero Action Plan • Long Range Transportation Plan Outreach

County Department of Public Works • Central Maui Transportation Study • Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment • Kane Street, Onehe‘e Avenue Complete Streets

Department of Transportation • Maui Bus Fare Study

County Planning Department • Kahului-Wailuku TOD Study • West Maui Community Plan update • South Maui Community Plan update

County Department of Parks and Recreation • Parks System Plan • Master Plans: Baldwin Beach Park, South Maui Community Park • Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment

State Department of Transportation • Statewide Coastal Highway Mitigation Planning • Honoapi’ilani Highway Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study • Statewide Mid-Range Transportation Plan

Ideas for future planning studies:

Maui Greenways Feasibility Study • Greenways are off-street facilities designed to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists, as

well as skaters, wheelchair users, joggers, and other non-motorized users. • Feasibility study would be first step in process to develop a vision for an island-wide greenway

network to link parks and open space to communities and destinations. • Serve as a reference document to guide public, private and non-profit efforts to create and

maintain greenways on Maui. • Account for sea level rise and protection of open space along the shoreline. • Balance user needs in a culturally sensitive way, increase public access and provide opportunities

for perpetuation of Hawaiian culture. • Tasks:

o Research greenway “models” both in Hawaiʻi and U.S. mainland. o Develop preliminary sketches of desirable shared use path elements in various settings:

urban, rural, coastal, mountains, etc. Recommend greenway design standards. o Assemble maps of land uses and land ownership. o Develop conceptual routes for an island-wide network of greenways. o Hold public engagement events to educate and build public support.

Data Support for Safety and Health Performance Measures

• Hele Mai Maui 2040 safety and health performance measures: o Number and rate of fatalities from crashes o Number of projects installed that are anticipated to reduce crashes at high crash locations

using crash modification factors o Total and annual lane miles of bicycle facilities constructed o Total and annual blocks of sidewalks constructed o Key corridor and project bicycle and pedestrian volumes (pre-/post-project) o Level of traffic stress (pre-/post-project)

• Hele Mai Maui 2040 crash maps included location and basic information related to victim profile and contributing factors, but high percentage of crashes caused by ‘unknown’ factor

• Vision Zero effort will include Strategic Safety Data Plan to recommend procedures to collect, manage and share data among agencies - engineers, police, healthcare providers and planners

• MPO planning study could collect/analyze data to improve performance measure reporting and inform solutions

Data Support for Pavement and Bridge Condition Performance Measures

• Hele Mai Maui 2040 federally required pavement and bridge condition performance measures: Percent of National Highway System (NHS) bridges and lane miles of pavement in good/poor condition.

• MPO planning study could support data systems for management of non-NHS County pavements and bridges to improve transparency and MPO public outreach

• Utilize capabilities of County “iWorQ” asset management program and State “Numetric” system. • Create online map of pavement and bridge conditions, past and upcoming projects.
