2021 – 2023 Committee Assignments
Chair – Infrastructure and Transportation Committee
This committee is tasked with diversifying transportation options and improving physical infrastructure. Its jurisdiction includes: issues relating to traffic safety, transit, bikeways, walkways, and complete streets; issues relating to interisland transportation, within the County and within the State; issues relating to traffic impact fees; operations and performance audits of the Department of Transportation and Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization; amendments to the Parking Code; amendments to and enforcement of the County Water Code; county facilities construction and maintenance; and Operations and performance audits of the Department of Environmental Management (except the Environmental Protection and Sustainability Division), and the Department of Public Works, including operational oversight of any grants they administer.
The committee is focused on building a new transit hub to replace the current one at Queen Kaahumanu Center, which was not designed to accommodate the growing number of bus riders using our island’s transportation system. The committee is also working on the Central Maui Waste Water Reclamation Facility, decentralizing the Kahului/Wailuku Waste Water Reclamation Facility, and the Waiale Road Extension to connect Waiale to Honoapiilani Highway.
