The Urban Mobility Hub Planning Study is evaluating potential mobility hub locations, amenities, and feasibility across Urban Honolulu to advance projects to the next phase.
Launched in May 2024 and expected to conclude in 2026, the study is a partnership between OahuMPO, the City and County of Honolulu, and SSFM International.
A mobility hub is a central, accessible location where various transportation modes are integrated into a single, cohesive network. Designed to provide "first and last-mile" connections, these hubs make it easy for users to switch between travel options, encouraging sustainable, low-carbon, and shared mobility over private car use.
Potential sites along Kapahulu Avenue, including City-owned and private properties, are being explored to improve access, manage visitor destinations, and enhance the transportation experience.
Earlier work identified two key locations for further study: the Ala Wai Golf Course Kapahulu frontage site and the State Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) recycling site.
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.
