The Mobility Hub Planning Study will explore the possibility of creating mobility hubs in Haleiwa and Urban Honolulu. The studies will evaluate options for creating mobility hubs that bring together transit and other transportation modes to create improved travel choices. This includes identifying potential locations, considering mobility features elements and amenities, and assessing feasibility to advance the mobility hubs to next project development phase. The study began in May 2024 and is anticipated to end in 2026. The project is a partnership between OahuMPO and the City and County of Honolulu, with consultant support from SSFM International.
The Site Selection Analysis will evaluate sites in Haleʻiwa and Urban Honolulu that could host a mobility hub, identifying preferred sites in each locations to take forward to Task 2. See report here.
A summary memo of existing conditions, as well as opportunities and constraints identified will be prepared for the preferred site(s). This will include existing site conditions, services, transportation, zoning, ownership, deed restrictions, alignment with existing plans, and other considerations that could affect the site’s use as a mobility hub(s).
The study includes engagement strategies to gather input from stakeholders including agencies, community members, service operators, and others to inform the siting, uses, and service offerings at the mobility hub(s).
The feasibility study and environmental review includes conceptual site plans, a list of utility requirements to support a mobility hub, concept design construction cost estimates, and a list of environmental permitting and compliance requirements.
The final report will include a summary of the findings from previous tasks and the identified preferred alternative, identified potential funding sources, and recommendations, implementation plan, and next steps.
The study in Haleʻiwa will evaluate the feasibility of a mobility hub serving the transportation needs of residents and visitors traveling to/from Haleʻiwa and the surrounding areas. Sites owned by the City as well as private landowners in and around Haleʻiwa Town will be considered. This site emphasizes improving destination management and the transportation experience of residents and visitors.
The previous phase of this project identified three sites for consideration and further review: Basin Project Site, Bishop Estate - Makai, and Dole Foods Adjacent to Weed Circle.
Sites for Urban Honolulu Mobility Hubs are still under consideration. Stay tuned for updates!
The study assessed State parking facilities on Oahu that could allow for multi-modal use. It identified and described State parking facilities, including their utilization rates; evaluated and priced various ways to make better use of these State assets in ways that would encourage the use of alternative transportation and mobility options; and overall, helped to optimize State and County goals for clean transportation while maximizing the public benefit.
This study consisted of conceptual planning and design studies to assess alternatives for the development of a new mobility hub in the vicinity of the future Ala Moana (Kalia) Rail Transit Station.
