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

This Senate Resolution (SR 167) requests the U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy to conduct a performance review of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project under its existing federal funding agreement. It cites the project's significant cost overruns (from $5.5 billion to $12.45 billion) and delays (pushed to 2030), noting Hawaii has already provided $3.9 billion in state funding. The resolution specifically asks for an assessment of whether the project is making satisfactory progress toward completion, as required by the Amended Full Funding Grant Agreement. This is a procedural request seeking federal oversight, not a new policy change.
