Establishes a two-year pilot program for fare-free county transit services for children in Hawaii.

The bill proposes a two-year pilot program to provide fare-free county transit services to all children from birth through eighteen years of age in Hawaii. The program aims to increase equitable access to mobility, reduce transportation costs for families, and encourage the use of public transit among youth. The Department of Transportation will coordinate with the counties to evaluate the pilot program's impact on ridership, costs, and administrative issues. If the evaluation justifies continuation and expansion, the Department will propose a sustainable funding source.
