honolulutraffic.com seeking cost-effective ways to reduce traffic congestion in Honolulu |
|
The principal websites for the proponents of a rail transit line for Honolulu are:
http://www.honolulutransit.com/ Operated by the the City. http://www.saveoahu.org/ This was the Committee for Balanced Transportation but now appears defunct. http://www.apta.com/ The American Public Transportation Association are a national pro-rail group. On the other hand, we at HONOLULUTRAFFIC.COM advocate real solutions to relieve congestion. The Congestion Coalition (rail proponents) favor more congestion to force people out of driving. Their propositions are unreal and incredible because: No metro area has reduced traffic congestion by building a rail line. The minor benefits are nowhere near worth the major costs which the city is understating. The environmental costs of visual blight, noise and energy use are too great.
To understand the subject more fully, we suggest that you start with "The case against rail and more taxes" then go on to our slide show and our handout and our rail myths before going on to the other material.
