The City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services is updating the 1999 Honolulu Bicycle Master Plan.  The new plan will cover the entire island of O‘ahu and will guide future planning to better integrate bicycling into the island’s transportation system.  The updated plan will look at policies and programs and projects.  Policies and programs needed to help O‘ahu become a bicycle-friendly community include education, enforcement, encouragement, facility maintenance, amenities (e.g. showers, parking), and coordination with other planning documents.  The plan will inventory and assess current routes as well as identify new routes and priorities with an emphasis on connectivity.  Ensuring bike-accessibility to public transit will also be an important component of the new plan.  

The success of the island wide plan will depend on the level of public involvement in identifying routes, establishing priorities and assisting in the evaluation of supporting plans and policies.  Please help O‘ahu fulfill its vision of becoming a bicycle-friendly island.  Forward us your ideas, thoughts, and comments on bicycling on O‘ahu.  Let us know if you’d like to be added to our distribution list and check back here often for plan updates.
