Bill Summary

RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO CONVENE AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL TASK FORCE TO RECOMMEND POLICY AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO ASSIST THE COUNTY OF HAWAII IN THE ESTABLISHMENT AND FORMATION OF A METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION OR A REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION. .

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Department of Transportation to create an Intergovernmental Task Force to help the County of Hawaii establish a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) or a Regional Transportation Planning Organization. An MPO is a regional body that coordinates transportation planning and directs federal funds towards projects that improve access and mobility, often involving collaboration between local communities and government agencies. The task force will recommend policies and provide guidance, and it will also be given a list of highway projects to consider for the MPO's transportation improvement program. The task force is expected to submit a report with its findings and recommendations to the Legislature by early 2023, after which it will be dissolved. This action is prompted by federal funding opportunities and the growing population of Hawaii County, which currently lacks an MPO, unlike Maui and Honolulu.
