Background The Honolulu Rail Transit Project (Project) involves a 20-mile rail line located between East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center with a total of 21 stations. The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) of the City and County of Honolulu is responsible for the design, construction, and operations of the Project. Bus will play a very important role in the transit system. The Project travel demand forecasting model indicates that, at some rail stations, more than 70 percent of the total daily rail riders will be connecting to or from buses. While the June 2010 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) provided general bus requirements at each station, more detailed bus/rail integration plans will help guide final design and define on-street bus facility needs at each rail station. This bus/rail integration plan will provide station designers, public agencies, and other interested parties with guidance on the location of bus stops (both on- and off-street) near each rail station. Seamless integration of bus and rail service will help maximize the project’s ability to meet its goals and objectives. 1.2 Purpose of Bus/Rail Integration Plans Bus/rail integration plans are being prepared for each station design group— West O‘ahu, Farrington Highway, Kamehameha Highway, Airport, Dillingham, and Kaka‘ako—plus a separate plan of Ala Moana Center Station. These integration plans are intended to provide information on bus access, including on- and off-street facilities as well as service characteristics of routes serving the stations. Key information items include: x Delineation of on- and off-street bus facilities in each station area, including types of stops (e.g., single or multiple bus capacity) x Guidance and
