Establishes a fare-free youth transit program in Hawaii, funded by a tax on petroleum products.

Hawaii HB1879 establishes a fare-free youth transit program within the Department of Transportation, providing free transit services to children through high school age, youth who are high school students, and guardians accompanying elementary-age or younger children. The program aims to increase transit ridership, reduce carbon emissions, and support the state's environmental goals. Funds for the program come from a portion of the environmental response, energy, and food security tax on petroleum products and non-petroleum fossil fuels.
