GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Non-discrimination. Highways serve multiple and diverse legitimate purposes. Efficiency and Equity — not discrimination — must be the basis of prioritizing projects and usage.

Accountability and disclosure. The government shall make available reports on its operations, that audits should not be the only way for the public to ascertain the cost benefits of government's subsidies of operations and other expenditures.

Private sector participation. The transportation planning process must include the private sector to the fullest extent possible.

Public involvement. Public information and awareness must be open, complete and unbiased, promoted from the very beginning of and throughout the transportation planning process.

Residents First. The Bus must first serve the residents of Honolulu. Tourists must not receive extra consideration or services that discriminate against residents.

Federal Funding. Transportation projects must be selected based first on practical local use, not be top-down driven based on available federal funding.

Quality Growth. Increased urban density requires increased road investments. A balanced, comprehensive assault on traffic congestion must include both targeted expansion of our highways and improvements to the operation of existing highways and transit.
