Let your voice be heard: Virtual meetings on transportation improvements
The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) is in the process of updating the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) for the next four-year cycle. The first round of virtual public informational meetings will discuss the STIP development process and solicit input.
The STIP is a four-year programming implementation document that identifies State and County transportation projects to be funded in part with federal funds. HDOT is responsible for the development of the STIP programs for the islands of Hawaii, Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai.
The first round of virtual public informational meetings for Hawaii Island and Kauai will be held using Microsoft Teams. Meeting dates, times, and information on how to join follows:

The second round of meetings to share the proposed fiscally constrained FFY 2022-2025 (+2) STIP that will be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for approval will be scheduled after this first round of meetings. We encourage participation, as comments received will help to guide the finalization of the STIP.
STIP projects on the islands of Oahu and Maui are programmed through the Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (Oahu MPO) and Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization (Maui MPO) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) processes. Once the Oahu and Maui TIPs are approved, they are added to the STIP without change. For more information and to get involved in the development of the TIP please see:
