REQUESTING THE UNITED STATES TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SEAN P. DUFFY TO INITIATE A PERFORMANCE REVIEW OF THE HONOLULU RAIL TRANSIT PROJECT.

This House Resolution (HR 74) requests the U.S. Transportation Secretary to initiate a performance review of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project under an existing federal funding agreement. It directly affects the project's management and federal funding, citing $12.45 billion in estimated costs (up from $5.5 billion) and a delayed completion timeline (now 2030) due to cost overruns and delays. The resolution references the Amended Full Funding Grant Agreement, which requires such reviews to assess whether satisfactory progress is being made. Hawaii has already provided $3.9 billion in state funding through tax surcharges to support the project. The resolution is procedural and does not alter project funding or timelines.
