Requesting the County of Hawaii to expand the Hele-On Shared Ride Program to serve the entire island, including rural and underserved areas.

The bill requests the County of Hawaii to expand the Hele-On Shared Ride Program to serve the entire island, including rural and underserved areas such as west Hawaii, North Kohala, South Kohala, Ka, and Puna. It aims to improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities, enhance health care access in rural communities, and reduce disparities between east and west Hawaii. The expansion would complement existing fixed-route services, encourage partnerships with local transportation providers, and support a more integrated public transit system.
