RELATING TO PUBLIC TRANSIT.

SB 2994 establishes a two-year pilot program providing free public transit rides for children (Keiki) on Oahu and Kauai. The bill appropriates state funds to cover the cost of these free rides during the pilot period. It directly affects children using public transit on those islands, removing fare costs for eligible riders. The key mechanism is the temporary, funded program replacing standard fare requirements for children during the two-year trial. This is a concrete policy change focused on expanding access to transit for young residents.
