This document summarizes a study of congestion along the Bay Bridge corridor between Oakland and San Francisco. It finds that future traffic growth will significantly worsen congestion at the Bay Bridge toll plaza by 2035, blocking lanes used by Transbay buses and degrading transit operations. To address this, the study evaluates options like implementing a westbound contraflow lane on the Bay Bridge during morning commutes and improving access points. Microsimulation modeling shows that a contraflow lane, along with other improvements, could maintain transit reliability by keeping buses moving at acceptable speeds. However, the document notes further analysis is needed to study potential improvements to Bay Bridge on-ramps affecting afternoon traffic exiting San Francisco.

1. Evaluate the effectiveness of HPD’s existing policies, procedures, and controls to identify and respond to complaints or incidents concerning misconduct, retaliation, favoritism, and abuses of power by its management and employees;
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of HPD's management control environment and practices to correct errors and prevent any misconduct, retaliation, favoritism, and abuses of power by its
management and employees; and
3. Make recommendations to improve HPD’s policies, procedures, and controls to minimize and avoid future managerial and operational breakdowns caused by similar misconduct.
The report summarizes use of force incidents by the Honolulu Police Department in 2019. There were 2,354 reported incidents, an increase from 2018. Physical confrontation techniques were used most often (53% of applications). The most common types of incidents requiring force were simple assault (13.4%), mental health cases (13.2%), and miscellaneous public cases (6.7%). Most incidents occurred on Mondays and Saturdays between midnight and 1:59am and involved males aged 34 on average, with the largest proportion being Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders (34.5%).
The Office of Health Equity aims to eliminate health disparities in Hawaii. Its vision is for policies and programs to improve the health of underserved groups. Its mission is to increase the capacity of Hawaii's health department and providers to eliminate disparities and improve quality of life. The office identifies disparities, recommends actions to the health director, and coordinates related activities and programs. It works to establish partnerships, identify health needs, develop culturally appropriate interventions, and promote national health objectives. The office's strategic goals are to increase awareness of disparities, strengthen leadership, improve outcomes through social determinants, improve cultural competency, and improve research coordination.
The document calls for unity and collaboration between Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities in Hawaii to address COVID-19. It summarizes that government leaders have failed citizens by being slow to respond to the crisis, not working together effectively, and one in three COVID cases impacting Pacific Islanders. It calls on officials to take stronger, transparent leadership and get resources like contact tracers deployed quickly from Pacific Islander communities. Each day without action will lead to more cases, hospitalizations and deaths. It establishes a response team to improve COVID data and policies for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities.
This letter from the ACLU of Hawaii to the Honolulu Police Department raises concerns about racial disparities in HPD's enforcement of COVID-19 orders and use of force. It cites data showing Micronesians, Black people, Samoans and those experiencing homelessness were disproportionately arrested. It recommends HPD end aggressive enforcement of minor offenses, racial profiling, and using arrest statistics to measure performance. It also calls for implicit bias training, data collection and transparency regarding police stops, searches and arrests.

She lists several causes of action against the defendants and is seeking damages for the harm to her career and emotional distress caused by the defendants' actions.
This document provides guidance for large or extended families living together during the COVID-19 pandemic. It recommends designating one or two household members who are not at high risk to run necessary errands. When leaving the house, those individuals should avoid crowds, maintain social distancing, frequently wash hands, avoid touching surfaces, and wear cloth face coverings. The document also provides tips for protecting high-risk household members, children, caring for sick members, isolating the sick, and eating meals together while feeding a sick person.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) requests that the State of Hawaii prioritize collecting and reporting disaggregated data on Native Hawaiians relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, OHA asks for disaggregated data from the Departments of Health, Labor and Industrial Relations, and Human Services on topics like COVID-19 cases, unemployment claims, and applications for assistance programs. Disaggregated data is critical to understand how the pandemic is impacting Native Hawaiians and to direct resources most effectively. OHA also requests information on how race data is currently collected by these agencies.
The CLA audit of OHA from 2012-2016 found significant issues in OHA's procurement processes and identified $7.8 million across 32 transactions as potentially fraudulent, wasteful, or abusive. The audit found 85% of transactions reviewed contained issues of noncompliance with policies and laws, while 17% (32 transactions) were flagged as "red flags". Common issues included missing procurement documents, lack of evidence that contractors delivered on obligations, and contracts incorrectly classified as exempt from competitive bidding. The audit provides a roadmap for OHA to investigate potential wrongdoing and implement reforms to address deficiencies.
This document provides a list of pro bono legal service providers for immigration courts in Honolulu, Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. However, as of the January 2018 revision date, there are no registered pro bono legal organizations for the immigration courts in Honolulu, Hawaii, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands. The document also notes that the Executive Office for Immigration Review maintains this list of qualified pro bono legal service providers as required by regulation, but that it does not endorse or participate in the work of the listed organizations.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Mayor Kirk Caldwell issued a statement regarding the construction of a multi-purpose field at Waimānalo Bay Beach Park. City Council member Ikaika Anderson had requested halting all grubbing work until September 15 out of concern for the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat. However, the environmental assessment states grubbing of woody plants over 15 feet tall should not occur after June 1 to protect young bats. The city contractor will finish grubbing by the end of May as required. Canceling the contract would cost $300,000 in taxpayer money. Therefore, the city will proceed with completing Phase 1, including a multi-purpose field, play area, and parking lot, for $1.43 million, and will review additional

3. Original FFGA Requirements
On December 19, 2012, HART signed a Full Funding Grant Agreement for a total
Project cost of $5,121,693,163 with a Federal contribution of $1,550,000,000.
The Revenue Service Date (RSD) was to be January 31, 2020.
The Project description stated “The Honolulu Rail Transit Project (the Project)
consists of design and construction of a 20-mile, grade separated fixed rail
system from East Kapolei to the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu Hawai’i. From
East Kapolei, the Project proceeds to the University of Hawai’i at West Oahu,
then east to Pearl Harbor, the Honolulu International Airport and ends at Kona
Street adjacent to Ala Moana Center. The Project will operate in an exclusive
right-of-way and will be grade separated except for a 0.6 mile, at grade section
near the Leeward Community College. The Project includes 21 stations, 80 rail
vehicles and a Maintenance and Storage Facility”.
In FTA’s Risk and Contingency Review in September, 2012 for the FFGA, the
PMOC stated that HART’s cost estimate of $5.122 billion, including $644 million
in total contingency, was acceptable.
4. History of Review by FTA
Since then, HART has worked closely with the FTA in the management of the Project.
During this time, Monthly Reviews were performed by the FTA’s Project
Management Oversight Contractor (PMOC) and Quarterly Reviews performed by the
FTA’s Regional Office.
On August 14, 2014, FTA issued another Risk Refresh letter in which they
recommended that HART increase their cost estimate to $5.386 billion by adding
$265 million ($139.5 million in adjustments and $125.5 million in additional
contingency).
Both the FTA and the PMOC, as well as HART, were surprised at the increased costs
to the Project in late 2014 due primarily to the extraordinary construction cost
increases in Honolulu over the past five years.
On May 10, 2016, FTA forwarded a copy of their recent 2016 Risk Refresh entitled
FINAL DRAFT for comment. In this review, the FTA states the cost to be $7.731 billion
(p50) including an increase of $856 million in contingency, an increase of $2.609
billion over the original FFGA cost estimate. The FTA also gave a cost of $8.016
billion (p65) by including $1.141 billion in contingency.
5. HART’s Current Cost & Schedule Estimate
To construct the Project as programmed in the FFGA,
Projected Cost Estimate $7,967,000,000
Projected Schedule (same as FTA’s estimate)
Construction Completion April, 2024
Revenue Service Date (RSD) December, 2024
6. HART’s Current Capital Revenue Estimate
Projected Revenue Resources total $6.827 billion:
GET Revenue totals $4.977 billion
Growth rate lowered from 5.04% in original financial plan (June 2012) to 4.3%
Council on Revenues current Statewide GET projection reflects a 4.8%
compounded annual growth rate from FY 2014 to FY2022
Range from $4.903 billion at 4% to $5.167 billion at 5.04%
Federal Grant provides $1.551 billion
Beginning Balance of $0.3 billion
Consists of GET revenues and interest income prior to the grant period (January
2007 to October 2009) net of City expenses
*Growth rate applied to 4 quarterly receipts through 1/31/2016

9. Projected Cost vs. Projected Revenue
Given the projected Project cost of $7.967 billion and the
projected revenue of $6.827 billion, the Project as defined
by the FFGA has a potential deficit of $1.140 billion
Without additional revenue, HART, after consultation with
the FTA, needs to consider options for construction within
the current projected revenues

Issue Public-Private Partnerships (P3)
Solicitations for All Stations
In an effort to reduce initial HART capital investments and get
more buy-in by developers, issue P3 solicitations for all 21
stations.
Decision would require change orders to existing contracts
deleting nine stations; work has already begun on some of the
contracts.
30. Pros

availability of operational stations
4) Over $900M in private capital
would be needed to construct 21
stations
Option #4
Issue P3 Solicitations for All Stations
Cons
31. Option #5
Change Alignment to Nimitz Highway
Instead of guideway alignment proceeding down Dillingham,
alignment proceeds from Middle Street Station down Nimitz
Highway to Downtown Station.
Significant environmental and ridership studies would need to
be performed before design work could begin.
Station selections would need to be evaluated .
33. Pros
1) Costs could potentially be less
because of fewer stations
2) Continues access to
downtown area without same
utility issues along Dillingham
Cons
1) Potential seven to ten year
delay due to FTA review and
approval including EIS
2) Possible ridership impacts
3) New station location and
right-of-way acquisition
4) Introduces new unknown
utility and superfund
challenges
5) HDOT jurisdiction
Option #5
Change Alignment to Nimitz Highway
34. Next Steps
HART will take the feedback from today’s presentation and
update the presentation to be shared with the Mayor’s Office
and City Council. HART will refine the cost for the overall program
as well as the analysis for any options the Board chooses.
A Working Group will be formed to develop a plan for completing
the Project in a manner that is in the best interest and benefit of
the public.
Advise current CCGS Priority-Listed Offerors of current status and
potential timeline for remaining procurement.
