2ND ANNUAL HONOLULU TRANSIT SYMPOSIUM

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

MESSAGE FROM MAYOR MUFI HANNEMANN Aloha! It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the City and County of Honolulu’s Transit Symposium 2007, the second in what I hope will be annual events.

There is much progress to report since last year’s symposium. My administration implemented commuter ferry service between Oahu’s West end and downtown Honolulu and we recently welcomed our 10,000th passenger; we’ve been nationally recognized for making Honolulu a bicycle friendly city; we continue to expand and improve our award winning bus system and we’re hard at work completing an environmental impact statement and preparing to enter preliminary engineering for Honolulu’s fixed guideway mass transit system. All of this is happening because transportation continues to be Oahu’s most significant quality of life issue, as it is across the nation.

In addition to creating an integrated, multi-modal transportation system for Honolulu, we’re focusing our efforts on transit oriented development (TOD), a positive, potent transit benefit which can revitalize and reinvigorate communities along the transit route. I am firmly committed to the involvement of individual communities taking a strong hand in the TOD process and we’re proud to be starting our efforts in Waipahu. Our first planning meeting there was met with enthusiasm and positive input and residents are hard at work shaping the future of Waipahu as a vibrant community while maintaining Waipahu’s unique charm. Transit makes all that possible.

Today, we’ve brought together transit leaders who developed mass transit systems in their cities and were successful in their applications of TOD. Our goal is to learn from their successes and their challenges as we continue to map Honolulu’s transit future.

I hope you’ll take full advantage of the tremendous amount of experience and expertise gathered here today and that you’ll join with me as we create a transportation future that is a vital part of making Honolulu the best place to live, work and raise our families.

Mufi Hannemann
