Urging The City And County Of Honolulu To Improve Access Of Thebus In Oahu's Rural Communities.
Impact
The resolution details specific communities, such as the Kapilina Beach Homes in Ewa Beach, which currently lack adequate access to bus routes. Residents of this area face long walks to reach the nearest bus stops, with some individuals needing to traverse dangerous and unlit roads. The resolution urges the City and County of Honolulu to expand bus services in these areas to promote safety and accessibility for residents, particularly during times of disaster when transportation becomes even more critical.
Summary
Senate Concurrent Resolution 7 (SCR7) aims to improve access to TheBus, the primary public transportation service on Oahu, for residents living in rural communities. The resolution highlights the necessity of TheBus for many residents who rely on this service to access employment, healthcare, and essential goods. It emphasizes the importance of improving access for vulnerable populations, including senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and low-income residents, for whom TheBus may be their only means of transportation.
Contention
While SCR7 is framed as a supportive measure for improving public health and safety, it may also face scrutiny regarding budget considerations and logistical challenges for expanding transportation services. Some stakeholders may question the feasibility of implementing changes to TheBus routes and the potential impact on overall transportation budgets. However, the urgency expressed in the resolution underscores the critical need for improved access to transportation for rural communities on Oahu.
