STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3498

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.C.R. No. 85

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2024

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation and Culture and the Arts, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 85 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO INSTALL SPEED BUMPS AND SPEED LIMIT SIGNAGE ON THE PORTION OF KAPOLEI PARKWAY BETWEEN KAPOLEI HIGH SCHOOL AND KAPOLEI MIDDLE SCHOOL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the Department of Transportation to install speed bumps and speed limit signage along the portion of Kapolei Parkway between Kapolei High School and Kapolei Middle School.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee finds that according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, speeding is involved in nearly one-third of all motor vehicle fatalities in the United States. Your Committee further finds that in Kapolei, speeding is a constant contributing factor in motor vehicle accidents and traffic fatalities. Your Committee concludes that installing speed bumps and speed limit signage along Kapolei Parkway will reduce the number of speeding vehicles on the roadway and protect the residents of Kapolei.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation and Culture and the Arts that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 85 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation and Culture and the Arts,
