The Honolulu City Council passed a resolution requesting that the City Auditor conduct a performance audit of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project. The $5.2 billion project is the largest capital project in the city's history. Concerns about cost overruns, funding shortfalls, and lack of financial transparency threaten the viability of the project. The resolution requests that the audit examine HART's financial plans, contract expenditures, cost increases, revenues and expenditures from 2007-2014, when HART became aware of potential shortfalls, likelihood of further cost overruns, and ongoing operational costs after completion. The City Auditor is also requested to coordinate with any similar State audit.
