Public input sought on Maui transportation projects
The Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization is seeking public review and comment on the latest revision to the Federal Fiscal Year 2025-2028 Transportation Improvement Program, including the return of the Lahaina Bypass project and several new transportation improvements proposed for Maui.
The Transportation Improvement Program serves as Maui’s short-range transportation planning document and identifies transportation projects eligible for federal funding.
Updates to funding and schedules for all active projects are identified in an earlier version of the document under TIP Revision #4.
The proposed Revision #5 is characterized by the addition of new projects that support safety, resiliency, mobility and multimodal transportation across the island. Both versions are available at mauimpo.org.
Among the proposed changes reflected in Revision #5 is the reintroduction of the Lahaina Bypass project to the TIP. The estimated total project cost has increased from $70 million to $200 million, and the project has been updated with new potential funding sources accordingly.
Additional proposed updates include:
• Addition of a new Bicycle and Pedestrian Program for Maui, including bike lane improvements on Main Street and Puʻun”n” Street, as well as sidewalk improvements on Puunene Street and Kula Highway.
• Addition of the Hana Highway (Route 360) Kupukoi Stream Bridge Rehabilitation project.
• Addition of the Hana Highway (Route 360) Honomanu Bridge Replacement project, located east of Kaumahina State Wayside Park.
The 2025-2028 TIP includes investments in transportation infrastructure, transit, safety, bicycle and pedestrian facilities and roadway resiliency projects that support the goals of the Hele Mai Maui Long-Range Transportation Plan.
As the transportation planning agency for Maui, Maui MPO encourages residents, businesses, community organizations and stakeholders to review the proposed Revision #5 and submit comments using the form on mauimpo.org, or via email at getinvolved@mauimpo.org.
The public review period is open through June 24.
