Comments now accepted on latest listing of federal transportation projects for Maui

The Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization is now accepting public comments on its Federal Fiscal Year 2022-2025 Transportation Improvement Program Revision #5. 

Revision #5 includes the following draft amendments:

• Traffic Signal Modernization – defer work on Maui to address older, higher priority signals on O‘ahu first. 
• Shoreline Protection and Mitigation Project near Mopua – delete since this area is being addressed through a State-funded project.
• Lahaina Bypass Phase 1C from Keawe Street to north of the Kāʻanapali Connector – delete due to  reprioritization of limited rental car surcharge funds.

Previous administrative modifications include: 

• Honoapi’ilani Highway Realignment at vicinity of Ukumehame to vicinity of Olowalu – Add $23 million in federal funding from RAISE grant award. 
• Wai‘ale Road Extension – add to planning years of TIP to facilitate pursuit of federal grant money.
• Maui Bus Transportation Baseyard – add to planning years of TIP to facilitate pursuit of federal grant money.

Comments may be emailed to lauren@mauimpo.org or mailed to Maui MPO at 200 South High Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. A public review draft is available on mauimpo.org through June 2, 2022.
