Hawaii SB195 mandates that counties assess alternative revenue sources, including transit-based advertisements, before establishing new mass transit fares or increasing existing ones. The bill allows counties to place advertisements on mass transit vehicles and stops, with certain restrictions to ensure safety and decency.
