The fastest, cheapest, easiest and most sustainable method to reduce
traffic problems on Hwy 130 and all other roads would be to implement
a comprehensive mass transit program immediately. This would consist
of para-transit vans and park and ride lots linking residents of
subdivisions to the bus routes on Hwy 130, Hwy 11 and other arteries.
This is a system where residents could reliably count on buses every
hour going both outward bound to any other island destination and
homeward bound routes from the airports, Puna, Hilo, Kona, Ka`u,
Hamakua and Kohala. If we do this now, there will be no need for
expensive road upgrades and building new highways.
