During the public comment period on the Draft Energy Security Waste Reduction Plan from June 27–August 30, 2025, HDOT conducted six virtual public presentations, met with many stakeholders, and received 310 public comments. Comments ranged from calls for more walking and biking paths, concerns about the cost of transitioning to clean fuels and electric vehicles, as well as demands for equitable investment to benefit disadvantaged and rural communities. HDOT has posted summary responses to the most common comments on the Energy Security Plan website and has incorporated this feedback into the final plan.
The final plan is available at: https://hidot.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/FINAL-ESWRP-2025-10-15.pdf
We are expecting that HDOT will release a draft 5-Year Priority Multimodal Network Plan in November along with a schedule of public presentations further opportunities for comments. This will focus on public transit, bicycle and pedestrian priorities for the next five years. Additional details are expected in early November, 2025
