Federal Funds

Over $18 million in federal grants have been given to Honolulu, Hawaii County, and Maui County for sidewalk and road improvements that would increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The addition of crosswalks, pedestrian islands, roundabouts, and dedicated bike lanes to separate different types of traffic will be made possible by this funding, which is a part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s program supported by Senator Brian Schatz. These projects will ultimately improve safety and support community development initiatives.
