47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that many of the department of transportation's ground transportation goals could be addressed through promoting bicycle and e-bike use. The increase in use of bicycles and e-bikes for commuting would decrease the amount of vehicle miles traveled per year, cut down on the number of single-occupancy vehicles needed on the road, and also reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gases to better meet the state renewable portfolio standards. The purpose of this act is to have an unspecified per cent of commuting trips be by bicycle or e-bike by 2030 with the goal being measured by using the reduction in vehicle miles traveled and using 2023 as the baseline. SECTION 2. Section 264-143, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows: "(a) When planning, designing, and implementing ground transportation infrastructure for each project pursuant to this part, the department shall endeavor to: (1) Assess and maximize total throughput of people across all modes of transportation; (2) Achieve any goals described in the complete streets policy adopted pursuant to section 264‑20.5; (3) Reduce vehicle miles traveled; (4) Decrease the percentage of single occupancy vehicles in the State's mode share; (5) Provide equity for all communities and users; (6) Improve safety and achieve any goals described in the vision zero policy adopted pursuant to section 286‑7.5; (7) Reduce user cost of transportation; (8) Improve public health; (9) Reduce carbon emissions and greenhouse gasses to meet state renewable portfolio standards established in section 269-92 and zero emissions clean economy by 2045 pursuant to section 225P-5; (10) Reduce urban temperatures by incorporating tree canopy and foliage over hardened surfaces; [and] (11) Beautify public infrastructure[.]; and (12) Promote bicycle and e-bike use such that they constitute per cent of commuting trips by 2030. This goal shall be measured by using reduction in vehicle miles traveled with 2023 as the baseline year." SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval. INTRODUCED BY: _____________________________
