Clean & Affordable Transportation
City Objective: Create an integrated, multi-modal transportation system that serves all users safely, efficiently, and affordably while minimizing greenhouse gas pollution.
◀️ In November 2025, the City celebrated the completion of the Kalapawai Roundabout in Kailua. The modern roundabout design improves traffic flow, enhances safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, and protects local waterways through stormwater drainage solutions.

The City marked a major transportation milestone in 2025 with the opening of Skyline Segment 2 from Aloha Stadium to Kahauiki (Kalihi Transit Center)!
The new segment adds five additional miles and four new stations, extending Skyline service to key employment locations, the airport, and additional transit connections. Contributing to weekday ridership records set just a few months into segment activation, this expansion strengthens affordable, safe, reliable transportation options and supports the City’s vision of a low-carbon transportation future.
Additionally, new active transportation initiatives have expanded options for people to bike, walk, and roll. New protected bike lanes installed last year in the urban Honolulu core give commuters a safer way to travel without worrying about parking or traffic congestion. The City also completed renovations of a segment of the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail bike path, better linking neighborhoods, improving access to Skyline, and providing bicyclists with a smoother, safer ride.
These efforts contributed to the City’s recognition as a “Silver Status” Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists in 2025.
Improving safety remains a critical priority for the City’s transportation system, particularly in response to recent increases in traffic fatalities. In 2025, the City adopted the final Oʻahu Vision Zero Action Plan, creating a roadmap to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries while improving equitable transportation choices for all users. The City also strengthened e-bike safety through Ordinance 25-6, supporting the responsible use of e-bikes as an affordable, convenient, and cleaner way to get around.
