Bill > HR179

This Resolution urges the State of Hawaii to actively support the creation and implementation of transportation systems that produce no greenhouse gas emissions for travel 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. It calls for state departments, including Business, Economic Development, and Tourism, and Transportation, to speed up efforts in developing and deploying these technologies and to plan for necessary infrastructure like charging stations and docks.
