The Maui MPO is responsible for programming federal aid projects on the island of Maui. HDOT is responsible for the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Information on the Transportation Improvement Program for the island of Maui can be found at https://mauimpo.org/transportation-improvement-program-tip

The majority of state highway work on Molokai and Lanai are fully state funded, however, HDOT is proposing to program federal aided shoreline mitigation and protection on the island of Molokai in the timeframe of the new FFY 2022-2025 (+2) STIP. These shoreline improvements/needs were identified and prioritized through the Statewide Highway Shoreline Management Program. Improvements proposed for Kamehameha V Road from Niaupala Fishpond to Honoulimaloo Bridge are the #2 shoreline priority for the Maui District.

There are no other federally aided projects planned for Molokai or Lanai.

The Hawaii Department of Transportation is seeking public comment on proposed improvements to the H-1 eastbound Koko Head Avenue offramp. The community has indicated that they have concerns regarding the shared left-turn/right-turn lane from the offramp onto Koko Head Avenue. HDOT is proposing the following options to address those concerns and increase the safety of this offramp by reducing weaving as vehicles exiting seek to get into their desired lane.

You can select your preferred option in the survey below. If you'd like to leave additional information on why you made your choice and how you think it would improve safety please comment in the forum.
