The Hawaii Safe Routes Hui is a network of non-profit organizations, government agencies, schools, and professionals working together to advance the active transportation movement and healthy community design in the State of Hawaii.
The Hui formed to address persistent barriers to making Hawaii a safe and enjoyable place to walk or ride a bike.
Focus Areas:
The group is focused on a number of key areas, including:
1. Low-Income – The transportation needs of low-income communities
2. Legislation- Reviewing existing policies to ensure that those policies that encourage walking and bicycling to school are fully implemented.
3. Fine-Based Mechanisms – Review of how traffic violations are enforced, how fines are collected and how those funds can be used to enhance traffic safety in the localities where the citations are happening.
4. Affordable-Accessible Housing – Ensuring housing is located within a 10 minute bike ride or walk to schoo, work and play.
5. Traffic Safety Curriculum – To promote the development and dissemination of Pedestrian and Bicycle Education in schools across the State of Hawaii.
6. Complete Streets – Pursuit of the completion of streets for all users of the roadway.
