Comments on Transportation Energy Security & Waste Reduction Plan extended to Aug. 31

The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation has extended the deadline for public comments on Hawaiʻi’s first statewide Energy Security and Waste Reduction Plan, to Sunday, Aug. 31, 2025.

The draft plan and online comment form is available at: https://highways.hidot.hawaii.gov/stories/s/h9gp-xxmt  

The plan provides strategies for the transportation sector to achieve the state climate targets set in law – a 50% reduction in emissions from 2005 levels by 2030, net negative transportation emissions by 2045 (meaning Hawaiʻi should capture more emissions than it produces), and ultimately zero transportation emissions.

HDOT extended the deadline from July 31 to August 31, 2025, to allow the public more time to learn more about the plan, ask questions and provide feedback. Dates and registration information for public meetings will be available through the plan website.

HDOT appreciates the stakeholders that have participated in the July meetings and provided feedback and welcomes additional feedback on its air, water and land transportation systems.
