Support for Honolulu Commuter Rail at the Federal Level

Commuter rail would connect Kapolei real estate with Honolulu

Representative Jim Oberstar may be a Congressman (D) from Minnesota, but he is also the chairman of the House Transportation Committee. And he thinks that the Honolulu commuter rail needs some support at the Federal level. The Associated Press reports on Federal support for the Honolulu commuter rail:

Honolulu can count on about $900 million in federal money to go toward the $3.7 billion rail system, Oberstar said.

‘You’ve got less than a mile of space between the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other,’ he said. ‘How are you going to squeeze more lane miles of roadway? We have to do this transit project.’

This is another example of efforts to better connect Kapolei real estate with Honolulu as the west side of Oahu grows.
