I recently had the pleasure of joining Michael Formby, Director of the Department of Transportation Services at the City & County of Honolulu, and Harrison Rue, Community Building and TOD Administrator for the City to discuss challenges and opportunities for transitioning to cleaner fuels and provide updates on TOD in Hawaii. The Natural Resources Section of the Hawaii State Bar Association sponsored the panel.
