1.1 HRTP Description

The HRTP will provide high-capacity rapid transit in the travel corridor between East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center. This corridor includes the majority of housing and employment on O’ahu. The north-south width of the corridor is a maximum of four (4) miles, with the corridor constrained by the Ko’olau and Wai’anae Mountain Ranges to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south.
The HRTP is identified in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (“FEIS”) as the design, construction and operation of a twenty (20) mile grade-separated fixed guideway transit system between East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center. All parts of the guideway will be elevated, except near Leeward Community College where it will be at-grade. The system will incorporate steel wheel-on-steel rail technology. The HRTP includes twenty- one (21) stations, one (1) Rail Operations Center (“ROC”), and eighty (80) light metro vehicles and associated core systems.
The FEIS was released in June 2010 and a Final Supplemental EIS and Amended Record of Decision (“ROD”) were released in September 2013. The FEIS and additional information on the HRTP can be found at: http://honolulutransit.org.

The Project, excluding park-and-ride facilities, is currently separated into three operating segments, as follows:

• Operation Segment 1 – West Side Stations and Guideway: East Kapolei Station to Aloha Stadium Station.
• Operation Segment 2 – Airport Guideway and Stations: Aloha Stadium Station to Middle Street Transit Center.
• Operating Segment 3 – City Center Guideway and Stations: Middle Street Transit Center to Ala Moana Transit Center

HART’s request for a modification of the FFGA scope has been reviewed and considered sufficient at this time for the project to move forward by the FTA. Operating Segment 3 will end at the Civic Center Station, and a fourth operating segment would address the final 1.25 miles of guideway, the Kaka’ako Station and the Ala Moana Center Station in a separate phase of the Project.
