Bill > SCR145

This Concurrent Resolution urges the State of Hawaii to actively support the creation and implementation of transportation systems that produce no emissions when traveling between the islands. Recognizing that transportation is a major source of pollution in Hawaii and that the state aims for a carbon-negative economy by 2045, the resolution highlights that Hawaii's island geography makes it an ideal place to pioneer zero-emission sea and air travel for both people and goods, especially with advancements in electric watercraft and aircraft. The resolution specifically calls on the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and the Department of Transportation to speed up efforts in this area and to collaborate with other departments, such as the Department of Land and Natural Resources, to plan and build necessary infrastructure like charging stations and docks to facilitate this transition.
