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

SCR 191 is a concurrent resolution passed by the Hawaii State Legislature requesting the U.S. Transportation Secretary to initiate a performance review of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project under the federal Amended Full Funding Grant Agreement. The resolution cites the project's significant cost overruns (increasing from $5.5 billion to $12.45 billion) and delays (completion pushed from 2020 to 2030) as justification for the review. It specifically asks the Transportation Secretary to assess whether the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) is making satisfactory progress to complete the rail system. The resolution aligns with federal oversight mechanisms outlined in the Amended FFGA and follows recent federal actions on similar transportation projects.
